You could fry an egg on the roof!!!

Sunday 21st July 2019 - The first overnight mooring of our summer trip was just above Aston Lock on the Trent and Mersey. A short walk over the bridge into Aston-on-Trent takes you into the village with plenty of pubs and a convenience store. Heading to Burton on Trent, we enjoyed a full English breakfast at the Mill House Hungry Horse pub next to Bridge 29a.The pub opens at 10am and is very good value at £4.65 including a cup of tea!

They have provided mooring rings outside the pub, however there is metal jutting out, so not good, however there is plenty of room on the towpath nearby.


48 hour visitor moorings at Burton-upon-Trent



As forecast the weather is getting hotter and hotter peaking on Thursday.  We spent Tuesday evening at Alrewas where there are plenty of good moorings. In the early hours we heard a regiment of tanks slowly approaching, rumbling with intent. They all opened fire at once complete with dramatic flashes. Nugget promptly ran for cover under the bed and refused to emerge for the next couple of hours as the storm slowly passed! Overnight the temperature refused to budge from 26'C - phew!
