Over the last week we have cruised from Fradley Junction, turning onto the Coventry and then finally the Ashby Canal. This ode at the bottom of the 2 Glascote locks made us smile!
Wednesday 29 July dawned with an early 7am start to ascend the 11 Atherstone Locks. By this time four boats were already ahead of us, however even with all the locks against us we made it up in good time for lunch in Atherstone.
'The Deli' in the market square was great for a reasonable priced tasty panini with a cuppa. We took this opportunity to visit Oakfield Vets in Atherstone so they could look at Nuggets poorly eye and poorly toe. Really good service - so armed with medication and a slightly slimmer wallet we were on our way again - thank you Oakfield Vets💓
About midday on Thursday we reached Marston Junction and began our journey on the 22 lock free miles that is the Ashby Canal.
Friday was the 3rd hottest day on record (according to the BBC) and it certainly felt it 😎, thankfully there was a decent breeze. We moored near bridge 31 (wooden top Bridge) and had a wonderful evening sat out watching the wildlife and beautiful sunset.
Nuggets eye 👀 and toe are healing well and she is loving the walks and the beautiful countryside and lots of interesting sniffs!
