Alrewas

On the move at 9:00 and onwards up the Trent & Mersey. We climbed upto (yes upto) the Trent at Wychnor Lock after checking the flood status indicator. It was at Green, so no problems. The flow was still quite strong but Denise had no difficulty guiding the boat through to the other end of the river section at Alrewas lock.

We moored just above the lock at 11:45 as we wanted to go again to the excellent butcher. After buying some very good looking free range pork we walked around the village visiting the much restored church and investigating the pub food situation. Couple of reasonable looking options and the possibility of an Indian, though that could have been closed, so we will stay here for the rest of the day.

Back home tomorrow so probably the last blog for this year.
