48 hours up in Whitchurch so move on down the staircase at Grindley Brook and three locks following. Weather not to bad so far in fact looked and felt promising but then as we progressed towards Povey's and Willymoor locks the heavens opened and we got wet again. So we had little choice but to moor up below the lock and go for lunch in the Willey Moor Inn out of the rain!
Good lunch and refreshments enjoyed with tales of canal adventures from crew at next table one couple from Vancouver Island and another from South Africa.
Eventually moved on and through Quoisley lock to then meet up unexpectedly with Warrior our neighbour from Fettlers Marina.
Decided this was as far as we were going and moored up in same spot as we moored on the way out. Pleasant evening without much in way of clouds to spoil the evening. Even managed a second coat of varnish on the hatch door and seat over stern locker.
Today started a bit grey with very minor showers not enough to get wet (yet). have decided to stay put and chill out again.
