Day 15 through Stoke and now on the Caldon

Day 15 - 11miles,10 locks and 2 swing bidges
Total to date 3 cappuccinos, 2 swing bridges, 133 miles and 44 locks

We were up and away by 07.30 with a heavy overnight frost and fog which burnt off fairly quickly but the sun decided to stay hidden. The run through Stoke and to the junction with the Caldon canal at Etruria wasn't too bad although there are a lot of derelict or cleared sites on which old potteries once stood.

We turned onto the Caldon at 11.45 and it took 3 hours to get to our mooring for tonight 6 miles from Etruria near bridge 22. A fellow boater told me about low bridges 8 to 10 but failed to tell me about bridge 18. The whole chimney decided to head butt the bridge but luckily fell back onto the roof - to fight another day!!!!.
