8th July
We are now following our outgoing route back to our mooring. Turning on to the Grand Union at Kingswood Junction last night and then down the Hatton flight of 21 locks this morning. Teaming with our newly made friends, Bill and Sue on their boat, Thursdays Child; Sue and I driving, Pete and Bill working the locks. It mostly went smoothly apart from my poor turning in to the locks here and there. Bill and Sue very kindly reassured me the scratches on their stern were already there! They were headed for another IWA BBQ in Saltisford. We continued to Radford, just past Leamington Spa on a green site again, no pubs, no buildings.
Bill and Sue are members of both IWA and CRT and do a lot of volunteering for them. They have worked at clearing the canals of rubbish and the banks of overgrowth and Bill works on the Napton locks one day a week. Oh dear, puts us to shame.
Girls hold out.....
And chat
While boys do the hard work.....
