Wheaton Aston to Church Eaton (Shropshire Union Canal)






Our Stowaway
We are chugging off today, going a long way again, 3 miles to be exact!  Reversed back to the water point to fill up and as we were doing so, we had a stowaway, a duck jumped on the front of  the boat and stayed there the whole time we were reversing back, I tried to charge her, but she flew off before I could take her fare, these fare dodgers, I don’t know!! 


The open air Gym
Chugged on, stopped to get diesel, 71.9 a litre wow!! then on down the canal to the moorings near Church Eaton.  Moored up, then walked up to the village, went past an outdoor gym, we are both thinking of signing up!     

The Royal Oak, Church Eaton




The Church in Church Eaton
Walked past the pub, The Royal Oak, its only open in the evenings in the week, so we are going to come back up tonight for a meal.  Walked on to the church,  then walked back to the next bridge (26), then back down the tow path to the boat. The sun was shining, so it was a really nice afternoon, a bit windy though.

Walked up to the pub, it was open, so we went in and we had a really nice meal, it is a nice friendly pub.  Walked back down the lane, it was a lovely sunny evening.  Chugging off tomorrow up to Gnosall.
