Shebdon Wharf

Storms forecast for tonight and tomorrow so made reasonably early start and tackled the five locks ahead of us stopping to purchase some excellent pork and apple burgers at the top lock.  Not many boats on the move again and it got progressively windier as we headed towards Market Drayton.  Carried on up the five Tyrley locks, much easier progress as we past a boat at each of first four locks. Had to use the brolly several times today as we passd through squally showers. Finall moored up at Shebdon wharf right by the 'Wharf Inn' at about 3:15. These 48 hr moorings have wooden edging and mooring rings, ideal for a windy night, and as we did not want to be under the trees we moored right at the end almost on the road bridge.
