7th/8th June
Through Kingswood junction and onto the pretty Stratford-on-Avon canal. Narrow locks again with extremely low iron bridges on some. We moored at Hockley Heath in hot sunshine. Pete tackled the Lapworth flight with his perfected routine. I did all of 3 locks out of 23! It takes at least 5 days for us to feel more supple; muscles and joints oiled. I could probably lose weight this way if it weren't for the beer and ice cream stops. Hey ho.
Next day on to Warstock for a mooring next to the golf course and opposite Lyons boatyard. Pete canoed this afternoon through clouds of midges. Not easy paddling whilst holding your breath with your head down. Not the prettiest of stops but the cruise today has been lock free through wooded banks in dappled sunshine, so we are not complaining.
Pub here is a real boozer, the type where everyone looks at you as you enter - strangers in town, uh oh.
