Easter holiday - Day six
Left Battlefield mooring this morning at about 10.00 and enjoyed a very pleasant cruise down to meet my father walking back up with Simba! I really wouldn't want to be on the Ashby this weekend! Dozens and dozens of boats were pouring onto the canal in great flotillas and I can imagine some very extreme bottlenecks on some of the shallower northern regions. Cruised on to Atherstone and currently moored in the long pound just before the last 2 locks. Lots of boats around but not much hold up on the flight due to locking through after 5.00pm when most people are moored up. Managed approximately 30 lock miles today which was good. A large spaghetti bolognaise this evening and now settling down for the evening. Tomorrow, on to Fazeley and Fradley. The weather forecast is good and tomorrow is my birthday so hopefully another good and enjoyable days cruising.
