Sunday 24th August.

Again sunshine greeted us but for the last few days the early moorings have been lovely and then the clouds roll in and it becomes much cooler. We were only about a mile from Hillmorton Locks. Graham on lock duty and me on the tiller.

There is a good mural under one of the bridges in Rugby.

This tree was down 6 weeks ago and absolutely nothing has been done about it.

We reached Hawksbury Junction about 6.15pm. Here the canal does a hairpin bend after dropping all of 6" from the Oxford canal onto the Coventry. Graham is executing a wide turn and luckily nothing was coming the other way.

And here we are safely on the Coventry getting ready to moor for the night.
