Adrian put us expertly onto our pontoon, we packed, and left in the car bound for the IWA festival at Burton on Trent.
The show ground seemed quite quiet, although we were there not long after the gates opened. We had a look at the commercial boats, walked round the stands, bought a few things, talked to lots of people, had an ice cream, and walked along the towpath to see the visiting boats.
Then is was back to the car for a really good run home. We'll be making the most of having our own boat, by having another few days on board next weekend.
2 miles, 0 locks.

I'm a bit behind with blogging and comments - have reallly enjoyed your boating blogs.
I'm so pleased that you're enjoying Briar Rose and are able to get out and about so much - always a worry when yoo buy your own boat.
Hope to meet you on the cut one day....

Hi Sue
We're hoping to bump into you too, not least so we can show you round Briar Rose! Maybe you'll be back down south when we head for London in September.
Ooh yes, we'll be back in London by the 9th September - we're taking part in a tideway jolly - I'll blog when I've caught up!
So looking forward to seeing Briar Rose - we didn't get a tour of the inside when we met her previous owner!
