Hatton again

«

»

Thursday was another Hatton day. This time to help Derek & Dot on Gypsy Rover and Derek & Carrie on Uccello climb the locks. Arriving at Warwick Parkway station at 09:20 it was just a few minutes walk to the waiting cup of coffee on Gypsy Rover.

It was still raining, so we decided to wait and I spent the time updating Dot & Derek on where to go around the Birmingham Canal Navigations.

By 11:30 the rain had stopped and we were heading up the flight. Gypsy Rover leading the way most of the time, with Uccello close behind.

I think I’ve more photos of Dot steering other peoples boats than steering Gypsy Rover.

A quick fill up with water at the top, then on to Hatton to moor close to the station.

I was plied with sticky buns and carrot cake from the two boats, with plenty of coffee.

I spent the following night on our own boat in Birmingham before more locks the following day.
