It poured all day. we donned the wet weather clothes and as this selfie shows, we were smiling in the rain.
We left Hawkesbury and headed up past Bedworth and Nuneaton to the Atherstone Flight. We arrived at 4 pm and decided to see how we progressed down the flight with the intention of stopping if we had had enough.
Nearly all the locks were set in our favour and we discovered that there had been a working boat rally at Alvecote and the boats were leaving and coming up the flight setting all the locks for us!
We made good time and continued to Polesworth. The moorings here on rings are good for visitors. After mooring just before 7pm we put the radiators on, had lovely warm showers and feel very snug having covered many miles. Apparently the rain is due to end at 10am tomorrow. Watch this space!
