We did not return to the Marina, mooring in Shardlow just around the corner from the New Inn. Although it is only a 5 minute walk back to the marina it takes about an hour by boat and we wanted to stay out for an extra night. Had a very nice meal in the New Inn, washed down with a few pints of pedigree. I think that mooring the last night at Shardlow may be the norm as it finishes of the trip with a nice easy day and we can get the boat ship shape without being tried before you start.
Overall impressions of our first major trip. Fantastic!
We both loved every minute of it, never fell out once, it feels like we have been away for a month. However we have had a seep learning curve not just canal stuff but working out a right pace to travel. For most of the trip we pushed to hard and travelled to far, but by the end we had slowed to a pace that resulted in no more than 5 hours travelling a day.
