Bored by the Edgbaston test as it drifted towards a draw, we untied at Tixall and headed on up the T&M. After the picture postcard delights of Great Haywood the first couple of miles are a scrappy vista of railway line and messy canalside moorings but then the canal opened out into an almost river-like stretch – wide and deep so Star could push along smoothly at little more than tickover.
With the evening clouds closing in we moored at the little village of Weston in a handy slot between two boats. Who immediately started running their engines!
I hate engine runners. If people cruise and keep their batteries charged why so they need to sit at the canalside spoiling everyone's evening with the drum of a running engine? Perhaps so they can work their microwave or other item of domestic crap they've decided is an essential part of boating?
And don't get me on generators!
