After putting in the hours to get the miles under our belts over the weekend, we had just a short hop to do today. We slept much later, and Adrian had a call to take at 10, so it was gone 10.30 by the time we set off. We'd been passed by quite a few old working boats, presumably coming back from the bank holiday gathering at Alvecote. I'm not sure if this one was there, but it was certainly the most unusual.
We had decided that if there was space at the top of Atherstone Locks we'd stop there, and if not we'd go down five to the moorings there. As it happened there was plentybof room at the top, so we picked a spot and moored up. We will be here for a couple of days now, as I have a set of night shifts to do, and Adrian has some meetings in London. We've been to check we know how to get to the station, and we've got some shopping in Aldi. Atherstone also has a busy high street with lots of independent shops, including a chaotic hardware store with almost everything you're ever likely to need.
2 miles, 0 locks. (60 miles, 24 locks)
