Stone village 45 locks down 57 to go

Spent the night in Stone which is in pottery country. We had a tour of Wedgwood factory yesterday afternoon - very enjoyable. They do hand painting of the expensive pieces and some pieces have 7 firings. That's why they are a tad pricey. Had a lovely 2 course meal in a pub last night. Food over here is really cheap. The canals are very quiet which is good. Looks like narrowboating has lost some of its popularity. Had a scary trip through the Harecastle Tunnel which is very low and very long and has diesel fumes to boot. Just as well osh isn't around. I took a turn driving yesterday and am a star at getting into locks but parking is definitely not my forte.
Wifi is not working too well on the boat so expect some silences.
A few pics.....

  1. Was the Harecastle tunnel dug by a family of mice?! That entrance looks tiny. Did you stop and mentally prepare before heading on in?
