Stratford upon Avon
After our busy day yesterday, covering 30 locks including the Hatton flight we headed south through the narrow locks of the Stratford upon Avon Canal.
We took it in turns to walk the longer lengths between some of the well spaced locks to share the work. Susan’s favourite spot became the lock beam where she could snatch a little rest. When the world started drifting past it meant the lock was ready and the gate starting to move.
We made exceptionally good progress and we’ve reached Bancroft Basin in Stratford upon Avon.
Andrew joins us by train tomorrow, then we’re off down the River Avon – at least until the rain arrives and that’s forecast for early afternoon.
Before that we’ll need to visit the Tourist Information Centre just behind us to purchase our licence for the River Avon. It’s operated by separate trusts and not covered by the BW or EA licences.
