This is getting too much! We set off from Burston with blue skies and bright sunshine at 9am and travelled directly to Stone.
Stone is a pleasant and interesting small town with a surprising number of pubs and restaurants, and more importantly for us on a Sunday lunchtime, a large Morrison's supermarket where we stocked up on provisions for the next few days.
After lunch on the boat we filled up with water - we could probably last the best part of a week before refilling, but we normally do it every 2 days, otherwise it takes too long. We then had a short journey to Barlaston, south of Stoke on Trent. It may have been short in distance but did involve two flights of 4 locks.
Our mooring at Barlaston happens to be 50 yards from a pub overlooking the canal serving excellent Wadworths 6X and Everards Tiger - a satisfying end to an enjoyable day.
