Consall station

On our way down to Flint Mill Lock and just off of the river Churnet section was the station of Gonsall. The approach was challenging as the canal got narrow and two bridges in quick succession made it difficult to get through. On the way down and in the bid to save our chimney I went a little to far over to one side. To my horror our grab rail on the roof line made contact and a good chunk of paint went with it. This section is not for the faint hearted and I wondered on the way back if Ian would do the same

This view doesn't really show how difficult it is to get through both. The "kink" in the middle might give you some idea.
