2 bloggers in one day!

Our very pleasant final mooring just after Hopwas.

Set off this morning for a VERY slow trip through the Atherston flight! In fact, it took us only an hour less than the Caen Hill Flight to do just 11 locks!!



A very pleasant interruption half way down was the meeting with Bruce and Sheila from NB Sanity. It's always lovely to meet fellow bloggers and although the locks and the flow of traffic kept us moving, it was a welcome 'catchup'.


Onwards and battled through the wind which at times made for very challenging and interesting boating before arriving at Fazely Junction. Who should we meet there but Derek and Dot Canvin from NB Gypsy Rover. Another fleeting chat - this time, the wind prevented a longer stop given that we were rapidly being blown across and into the wharf!



The occasional spots of rain but generally the rain held off and the sun made fleeting appearances although the temperature did mean that we were glad to stop by the time we made it to Hopwas.


Tomorrow - on through Ravenshaw Wood and towards Tixell Wide to celebrate my birthday!
