Four Counties Ring Day 17, Handover at Woodend

Sunrise at Woodend, 5.30am. Won't be the same with HS2.

Early morning at Woodend

Having moored up above Woodend Lock in the dark, we got up mega-early in order to get the boat ready for Elaine and Bryan, but first we had to get it through the lock in 'stealth mode' to avoid disturbing the Woodend Cottage residents.

Had left the car at Woodend. Drove Sue to Lichfield Parkway station, then boat induction for Elaine and Bryan down to Fradley Junction.
