Friday 28. 0 miles, 0 locksWe stayed put in Audlem for the day. Bank holiday weekend and they are having a music festival. Intended to go to a couple of pubs last night to listen to the local talent. In the end it was so cold out and we had the fire on so we stayed in.
Friday we wondered around the village and did a walk through the country side. This is secret #1. It is so different to be able to walk across paddocks and cultivated fields owned by some unknown farmer. Couldn't help feeling like a trespasser. Intend to do it more. We got to a couple of gigs. Nice music if your ears could take it. Were a bit disappointed to see 75% of the patrons were not interested in the music and talked all night. Suppose it's the same in NZ but we don't go to the pubs there. Met a local who is a friend of someone Diana knows in Napier.
Saturday 29. 3miles, 3 locks (Raining)
If we hadn't need to empty the loo's we wouldn't have moved. Also filled water tank and cruised on to Hack Green, moored up, lit fire and settled in for the day. Mid afternoon rain stopped so we walked the 200yds to the Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker. Fascinating museum in the underground complex which would have been the centre of regional government in the event of Nuclear war. www.hackgreen.co.uk. Fires on again. Forecast better for tomorrow.
