GUELROSE is currently moored on the approach to the aqueduct near Rugeley. Signal strength for my datacard is very low so everything is taking a long time to download so no photographs tonight. Once I get back to base, and after a visit to Portsmouth for an unscheduled funeral, I will get down to entering a backdated log of the IWA festival with accompanying photographs.
We left Autherley on Thursday morning after spending the two days after the festival ended removing pontoons from the water on Tuesday, they had to be stacked three high and they were rather heavy! Wednesday was spent removing most of the fencing we had taken several days to erect a few days ago!
Thursday night was spent near to the M6 motorway between Boggs Lock and Rodbaston Lock. The evening was spent with new friends we had made at the festival. Friday night was spent at Tixall Wide, there were lots of boats there but for some reason 90 feet of space was left next to some other new friends we had made. It was a beautiful balmy summer evening, with barely a ripple on the water. A hot air balloon took off from Shugborough Hall adding to the entertainment. We spent the evening on the towpath, illuminated by scores of candles, had a couple of drinks and reminisced about the festival.
That's it for now, will not be able to publish another blog until Wednesday at the earliest.
