We were woken up at 5.30 by the first train, but managed to get some more sleep until 7.30.
Set off at 8am and made it through Meaford locks in half an hour and Stone locks in good time. After that there was some waiting at most locks.
Got to Weston in time for an early lunch at the Woolpack on the village green.
Carried on down to Great Haywood junction where we stopped to empty the loo. We also succumbed to an ice cream, as by now it was very hot in the sun, though cooler in the shade than it has been for a long time.
Carried on down the Trent and Mersey, meeting no one at the next two locks.
Stopped for water at Ash Green.
Stopped for the night right outside the Plum Pudding which was excellent 5 weeks ago. The beers were the same but I didn't recognise most of the menu. We had an excellent three course meal not spoilt too much by the live singer. Where else can you get ice cream for a starter and soup for a dessert?
