Sunday 25th August 2013

No need to rush today so after a leisurely breakfast we set off for the marina. As usual Alrewas was busy and the overgrowth of plants doesn't make passage through the village easy. 

The notice board at the section where it joins the river Trent tells you which way to go and if in doubt the bollards remind you. I met someone this holiday who said that before the bollards there was just a stick in the water and you had to guess where the channel was!

A lunch stop at Branston water park and a reunion with the swan with the broken wing. We remember him/her from last year.

Safely back in the marina with a view of the boat from the other side as our neighbours are still "on the cut" 

We have had a brilliant time and are already thinking of next year's route. If anyone asks what the weather has been like in the summer of 2013, here is the answer!
