Wolverhampton to Pelsall

The first day of the explorer cruise. We were one of the last to set off as Andy went to the post office to get some first day issue stamps.

Turned left at Horseley Fields junction onto the Wryley and Essington canal. We stopped for a pint at the United Kingdom Pub where two other boats from our convoy had stopped. There is a secure mooring for one boat there.

During the the afternoon we stopped at Sneyd wharf to fill up with water and empty the toilet. Our mooring for the night was just before Pelsall junction where we moored alongside Arcturious.

We had dinner on board and set off to find beer. We had been warned that the Finger Post pub by the canal did not have any real ale, but we had found 3 pubs in Pelsall within one mile.We went first to the nearest one, the Old House at Home, then to the Railway Inn which has Cask Marque approval. On the way we looked at the Queens but didn't go in.
