From Audlem Visitor Moorings (above wharf) to Ladybird Moorings, a distance of 5 miles, 5½ flg and 16 locks.
There was a bit of a scramble of boats setting off from the moorings and we were in a queue of boats going up the locks – but they were, for the most part, moderately quick and efficient and we never really had to wait long at any of the locks.
Start : Audlem Visitor Moorings (above wharf)
Finish : Ladybird Moorings
The pound between Audlem Top Lock No 13 and Adderley Bottom Lock No 12 isn’t the longest pound in the world but it seems to do a good job of spreading boats out so that the queues going up Adderley aren’t ever really very long – but the speed of the locks vary wildly so sometimes you end up sitting round for a bit in the middle of the flight.
We got back to the moorings, ate, packed, tidied up the boat and headed off home.
