Trip from Stone heading South for 3 days then return

[SteveLevis]

Hi all,

 

Just looking for suggestions really regarding an upcoming trip from Stone heading South for a total of 6 days, (3 out and 3 back)?

 

As I see it there are 3 main options:-

 

1/ Turn right on Shropshire Ubion and head towards Wolverhampton,

2/ Carry straight on and turn right at Fradley and down the Coventry canal turning around just above Atherstone.

3/ South and then turn left at Fradley and head up the trent and Mersey for a bit?

 

Any recommendations welcome.

Personally I would stick on the T&M, heading for Fradley, Alrewas, then maybe as far as Willington.

Do you mean turn right at Great Haywood onto the Staffs & worcs?  If so I would avoid Wolverhampton, stay on the S&W until end of 3 days - the shroppie is not very interesting at the southern end.

..ta for the replies...all thhings being equal I think we will be "turning left / going straight on" at Fradley up the T&M then turn around sometime at around 3 days. (Canal planner suggesting a turn around at Stenson Lock No.6 winding hole).
