Atherstone to Wyken Basin

In complete contrast to yesterday, today was bright and sunny, though cooler than the last few days. 

We left Atherstone at 8.30. On the way, we stopped at Springwood Haven Marina, where Steve thought they might have an appropriate tool to extract the obstinate pieces of screw. They were very helpful and not only got rid of the old screws but also found him a couple of new ones. And they also gave him a battery which someone had left with them having replaced it with a lithium one in their campervan. This battery will be passed on to a boater Steve (wearing his Waterways Chaplain hat) has been helping.

We stopped for lunch after passing Charity Dock and then continued to Hawkesbury where we did today’s only lock.  We arrived back at Wyken Basin around 3.00

Totals for the trip                  28 locks           61.25 miles
