Fradley Junction

 Woke up to rain it was midday and dry when we set off for Fradley Junction. A strong wind made manoeuvring difficult at times.

Moored on the visitor moorings and visited the Swan which has a new landlord since last time we were here. No Guinness but a descent stout from the Titanic brewery was served.

A group of lads straight from a paint balling combat day were enjoying a drink in the bar. I didn't realise how violent paintballing is. By the size of some of the wields, lumps and bruising on some of these guys a trip to the hospital instead of the pub may have been in order.
