After a quiet night with no calls from hospitals after midnight, we set off at 9:30 and made our way to the dual Hillmorton lock flight. We had an easy passage down with plenty of boats coming up so didn’t have to turn any locks. Unfortunately there were a lot of newby hirers about so lock passage took much longer than it needed to.
Then past Clifton wharf where we were pleased to see lots of green plums growing on the bankside trees, we’ll be back later! Through Rugby and Newbold complete with dark but short tunnel. As we passed Falls Bridge wharf we noticed that the boat lift has been re-painted. We love it as a Tonka Toy!
Into Brinklow marina and straight to our berth. Then we packed up, cleaned up and loaded all the stuff for home into the car. Jannock has been away from here since the 12th of May during which time we have had 38 days boating in total. Many things at the marina have changed and from what we’ve seen, all for the better.
