It looks like the rain of yesterday may well have killed my phone completely, threatening to hamper our navigation, stop me taking any photos, Skype home and indeed keep this blog going. There was no sign of any rain today, in fact the conditions were pretty much perfect for walking, which is more than can be said for the roads, which were in comfortably busy, so at the first opportunity we re-routed onto the Staffs to Worcs canal. The decision was a good one and we followed the canal right through the centre of Wolverhampton (although you wouldn't have noticed it) and out the other side. We exited the canal near Seisdon and stopped for a drink at The Old Gate in Heathton where the landlord would take no money for our drinks and said to give the money to charity, which I promptly did.
Our final destination was the Red Lion in Bobbington, which turned out to be a fantastic place, in such a small town and had a great stuffed lion and tiger in the bar, which were apparently family heirlooms.
More rain on the way tomorrow, better keep the phone well protected this time.
