Bad planning - because it's Sunday, there was a 2K walk from the bus stop to the Canal - you can see this at the top of the above map. Today's excitement is junctions with two canals - with the Shropshire Union and with the BCN. There are also 3 locks at the end of today's walking. It all starts at the Anchor in Cross Green ...
