Mendip & Explorer go to Bourneville

Hello again, It's Pugwash. We have moored for the night at Audlem. We arrived shortly after 17:00 and had a leisurely natter with the team that joined us from the museum to help us through the long flight of locks. Jeff and his wife Liz and Derek and his wife Trish. Also joining us was Martyn, as I said early today, Martyn has replaced Mike who left today. Apart from being a nice guy, the good news is that Martyn also likes bacon butties!
We had an excellent meal and service at "The Shroppie Fly" pub.
While we were coming down the flight this afternoon we met the Audlem Brownie Pack out for a walk and a project along the tow path. We engaged them in conversation and handed out leaflets and pens which were appreciated. They were all very interested in our trip and its story.
Tomorrow is our penultimate day. We expect to arrive back at our home moorings, The National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port during Thursday afternoon. However, as every boater knows life on the cut (canal) is far from an exact science. In short we arrive when we get there :-)).
That's it for now folks. More tomorrow.
