Sessions on 4 counties ring 31/7-10/8?

Hi,
We are planning a holiday on a canal boat on the 4 counties ring from 31/7 from Beeston for aprox 10 days. Not sure which way round we are going yet, but perhaps knowing what is going on where and when may help. The 4 counties ring for those who dont know is along the Shropshire union canal Nantwich, Audlem (session in Shroppie Fly on a Monday?), Market Drayton, Norbury, Autherley, On to the Staff & Worcs canal, to Penkridge, Great Haywood, on to the Trent & Mersey to Stone, Etruria, Hardings Wood, Middlewich, quick excursion up to the Anderton Boat lift, back across to Barbridge and back up to Beeston.
Any info would be a help! We will have box playing father in law with us so sessions and/or singarounds would be great.
Cheers, Lucy

Bluebell, Hardings Wood, has a session on Sundays. Very good real ale pub, right on the canal.

The same message here as on the Leeds Liverpool - Lots of friendly pubs if you take your own music in - Collect a few Phone numbers and tell people where you will be that evening and do an Impromptu ! If
there are any comments about PEL , I understand if it is NOT Pre Arranged , you (AND the Landlord) are in the clear.

Hawker: make contact nearer the time, and things may have developed. I live on the four counties ring(Stoke) so a PM to me might be a good idea. You could always ring me as you approach Stoke and ask what's on.

The crucial thing to remember on the four counties ring is to stop at the Anchor at High Offley(on the Shropshire Union). A great pub of the old school.
