A sunny day and a short day's boating, passing south through the pretty village of Weston upon Trent and mooring just after the entrance to Great Haywood Marina. Next to bridge 74 is Canalside, an excellent farm shop and cafe attached to the marina, selling a fantastic range of British cheeses, sausages and pies and the usual biscuits as well as their own range of preserves. We stocked up and Pete got a taxi to collect his car from Church Minshull, then we filled up with water and used the Elsan (by the way, not a very clean facility!) at the Anglo-Welsh boatyard.
We then moored and got an early night, as in the morning Pete was picking up our friend Ray Cullis of Trent Boathandling to spend a day's boating with us.
