A few more snaps from our trip along the Staffs & Worc! Including a viaduct that carries the Severn Valley railway. @CRTBoating

[Terence @CanalArts]

Loving our trip along the full length of the Staffs & Worc canal. We usually turn off at Autherley Junction onto the Shroppie, but curiosity got the better of us! @CRTBoating

[Terence @CanalArts]

Great gang of volunteer lockies at Bratch Locks to help us down - our first time on this part of the Staffs & Worc canal. Thanks @CRTvolunteers!

⭐️ ROBIN visitor to our buckby can! ⭐️

Watching the rain from the warmth of the back cabin, we saw a little robin fly in and pause on our water can. So we popped some crumbs onto the lid… and captured his return on film! #lifesbetterbywater

[Christina Edgar @nb_empire]

We were out working the locks before 6am this morning… hoping to reach our destination before the rain came!

Sun has decided to join us for a bit!
