We finally left the Marina at 3.30 on Thursday afternoon....Just as we went under the bridge the heavens opened.
Surprisingly we didn't see another boat until we got to Hawkesbury Junction where we stopped to fill up with water.
We went past Charity dock where they had all the bunting out.....
Anyone for gas?
Carolyn have you been here already?
Next morning was dry and a bit warmer so after wrapping up warm we carried on towards Atherstone and the locks.
Luckily for us there were lots of lock keepers on duty as they were expecting quite a few boats through so we soon got through them.
As we reached the last 2 locks the black clouds were close behind us so we decided to call it a day and moor up before getting soaked again....just in time !
Happy days
