Chellshill - Stone Bottom Lock

Gary, Barry, Mike Jackson 18 miles, 5 furlongs of narrow canals; 27 narrow locks

Reached Donatella and cruising by 1045 in good but chilly weather.

Lots of locks today but with little traffic, and most filled in our favour, we made good progress.

No delays at the Harecastle tunnel (2926 yards) and pressed on through the potteries to reach Stone Bottom lock by 8pm.

Mega steak and ale pie and a pint at the excellent Star canalside pub. But only Gary could clean his plate!
