After an early start we made our way up the Atherstone flight. We know they are slow to fill but they seemed even slower than usual. At lock 3 I chatted to the crew of Tugby who had been checking out or website already. I didn’t ask their names but I wonder if they are Robert and Nicky Fleming? We continued on, passing this wonderful telegraph pole, approaching Nuneaton.
We passed Marston Junction, where the lock free Ashby Canal heads off to the left under the bridge. Looking at the remains of the narrow stop lock through the bridge it’s easy to forget this was built as a broad canal. Tonight we’re moored at Hawkesbury Junction. Tomorrow we should catch up with Derek & Dot on Gypsy Rover before continuing towards Braunston Turn before retracing our steps as we film for the next of our our DVDs of Canals and Waterways.
