Canal: Stone to Penkridge

Can you believe it?  The Caldon Canal was shut!
So a couple weeks ago, we left Stone in a 47ft narrowboat, 
heading south for the Staffordshire & Worcester, & Slade Heath... 
cruising where we have walked oh-so-many times!
Started out nice enough, so we bimbled a few miles down to Weston; having beached the bugger a coupla times, we spent the night at The Saracen's Head.
It had already started to rain... 
In the morning... it rained some more... a lot more!
We set off (in the rain) to make our way (in the rain) to Penkridge

 
The rain stopped early afternoon, but not until our waterproofs proved to be 
not-very-waterproof at all (I forgot I had spent loads on purchasing the best sealskin outer jacket I could afford - without being a bellend.  It was at home!)

Being damp & tired, finally it was Penkridge & the pub. 


Then it got back to raining.
... & it rained... & it rained... & it rained!

Luckily, we had supplies...
