Join me from where Aslan and I left you at the end of the previous episode, cruising along the Trent & Mersey Canal - and by now, looking forward to mooring up.
Beforehand however, we must first negotiate one more lock - and a few miles later eventually finding that 'perfect' spot to settle down for the evening.
The following morning, I travel a further 1.5 miles to Wheelock, where I once again tie up - this time for a few days in order to buy food supplies, and to knuckledown to some more editing.
Later that week, I journey backwards to the water point and having topped up Aslan's tank, I soon negotiate the first of what will eventually be 26 locks along just 7.5 miles of canal, to Harecastle Tunnel at Kidsgrove.

Wheelock was my home village fir 12 years of life I can't begin to day how many times I've walked up the locks to what was the old post office at Hassall Green for ice cream and feed the donkey in the field on the way, a very special bit of canal for me ❤

Not wanting to be boring about mooring. And no more boring moorings Some more moorings, and some more boats moored on those moorings. Ring moorings to be precise. Very pretty. Fascinating facilities, magnificent magnolias. More? “To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark, dock, In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp, shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!”

I have to agree with you regarding a motorbike hanging off of Aslan. Not something I'm keen to see. From the looks of it all, I'm guessing that loading and unloading could result in some stressful, if not terrifying moments. As someone who splashed a snowmobile through narrow ice, I can say that manhandling a submerged machine while in the water, is not one of my favorite pastimes. Perhaps something smaller that could be stowed onboard, like a moped. The slower speed they travel at, keeps you more in tune with the surroundings, much like a narrowboat. BTW, I'm getting pretty spoiled with all of the content lately. I do appreciate your efforts ! Thanks !

First, Kevin, it’s good to know that you put on your pants one leg at a time! Of course the fishing Blue Heron was great, but I especially enjoyed the scenes and your commentary about the problems created by the bypass route at Wheelock. That’s certainly a very common problem here in the USA. Many towns have died as a result. The USA’s famous Route 66 is just one example of an old road superseded by superhighways. One partial fix for this problem is to have decent signage on the bypass route that “announces” all of the good stores and conveniences that live within the town. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more of your commentary about the unique towns that you visit.

I am an amateur photographer here in the states near Portland, Oregon in a small city called Hillsboro. I shoot with Olympus M4/3 cameras. My favorite is the Olympus Pen F and the small prime lenses of which the 17mm f1.8 (34mm full frame equivalent) is my favorite. Take it easy and looking forward to more of your photo work.
