We came back up Hatton locks today, filming in the improved weather for one of our forthcoming DVDs.  That’s 21 broad locks in just over 3 hours on our own.  Then through Shrewley Tunnel to reach Kingswood Junction and the Lapworth Link.

The narrow locks of the Stratford upon Avon Canal made a welcome change.  A little less work on the lighter gates, but the paddle gear was just as stiff, if not stiffer, and the locks were so slow to fill and empty they were probably slower than Hatton.

We made it to Lowsonford and stopped on the visitor moorings.  Walking ahead to the next lock there was one of thee best barrel roofed cottages, without the extensions and alterations that have been  made to some others.

A short walk to film the village and we discovered the Old Post Office.

We’re moored at Lowsonford, hoping to reach Stratford upon Avon tomorrow.  The mobile signal is poor so this may be late being published.
