The photograph below was taken from the top of the bridge looking West along the SWC.
The surroundings were flat and rural and we often got glimpses of the River Trent on our right.
Just before Rugeley we came to what I thought was a horse bridge and we should cross over to the LHS towpath. Shiel said we should carry on down the RHS. This is Shiel photobombing my picture of the 'dead end.'
We returned the bridge and the LHS towpath. We crossed over the Brindley Bank Aqueduct with the River Trent flowing beneath us and now on our eastern side.
After 2.5 hours we passed through Rugeley, crossing the NS path I took from JOG to LE in 2009. We were aciely looking fo a lunch pub now, 'The Yorkshireman', ofmy JOGLE walk ws too far from our route. We eventually headed for 'The Mossley Tavern,' arriving at quarter past 12 to findit didn't open until 13:00!!! At a quater to one we arrived at 'The Ash Tree' and it as open. We got our lunch.
