Mar 2007 - Etruria to Tixall Wide
Sep 2007 - Etruria to Chester
A fairly busy week to Chester and back, during which we had to call out British Waterways when we could not get out of a lock because of a jammed gate, a good response time from BW. The Chester vistit included seeing the Creation Window in the Cathedral, see Peter's page on this magnificent window.
Oct/Nov 2007 - Great Haywood to Auherley Junction
A short five day cruise taking in a visit to Shugborough Hall.
Another relatively short, easy trip this time from our winter temporary base in the new Marina at Great Haywood. During this trip I managed to go the wrong way then successfully jammed the rudder whilst attempting to turnaround, such are joys of boating.
