Cruising Away

The plan to have a swap between Joan & David and Gwyneth & Stephen has been scuppered by the arrival of D & J's new puppy. So we (S & G) decided to visit the Ashby Canal.
In order to do this, I am taking Chyandour as far as Nuneaton by myself, hopefully by Wednesday lunchtime, and Gwyn will drive there to meet me.
So I started from Wombourne at 1.40pm, having half loaded the boat on Friday. Not a lot of traffic around, but the last of a block of three boats was going up Bratch, and there was a queue to come down.
Forty minutes later I was on my way again, and reached the summit level at Compton at 6.45pm.
The Fox & Anchor at Coven was my chosen mooring, and I arrived and was settled for the night by 8.30pm.
