The weather forecast suggested that the afternoon could be a bad one, so we set off early from Salt with the intension of mooring in Stone, if we could find a space. The journey from Salt to Stone was very pleasant. The Sandon estate is beautiful and green and full of fat cattle and round sheep. The locks are deep but not difficult to handle.
After taking on water below the bottom lock at Stone, we decided to risk moving up the locks in the hope of finding a mooring, fully expecting to have to wind at the top and come back down. However just as we passed the Star lock we spotted a mooring in the perfect spot in the middle of Stone, by the park, less than 100 yards from the Star Inn.

We had burger and chips in the Canal Bar of the Star Inn. A pilgrimage to Terry and Jim's pub. As a mark of respect for Jim, Spot tried to get inside a bag of Scratchings
We will be here until Sunday so we have time to have a good look around tomorrow.
