Day 43 - to Gnosall on a not very interesting day.

1 lock, 248 in total







However hard it is working the locks, it's still so much more interesting than just motoring. There were plenty of boats to look at again today but there is a limit to the interest of deep, wooded cuttings. For once the weather forecast was accurate and we managed to moor before the rain came, as planned. We saw another kingfisher (we're averaging one a week!), more herons and a field of enormous rabbits. We also met a stream of hired boats coming the other way, possibly fresh out from Norbury Wharf although a midweek start is unusual. We are moored at Gnosall which has a huge stretch of visitor moorings but sadly little else to attract, particularly in the rain, but I have internet signal today so two days' blogs and my pile of books beckon.

Quiz Night
Helen, you were missed last night however Jan did a grand job filling in the answers and keeping us all in order. Needless to say we were joint first again, and Richard had to go head-to-head against a team of girls, the question was guess the quiz mistresse's year of birth, Richard got the nearest and we won! Winnings donated to 'Help for Heros'. The Kingswooders aim next time round is to win outright......we will need you back for that one :) Have a lovely day, bye for now Amanda

Quiz...
Well done everyone! That's good to hear however the question that springs to mind is:- did Richard guess the true year of birth or the one she that she admits to?
