... a good road would be that all the 11 Atherstone Locks would be set (ready) for us to enter ...
... leaving our mooring this morning at 20 past 8 ...
... and arriving at Atherstone Top Lock at 10 past 9 - it was 'against' us (empty) as was every other lock too ...
... the worst of them today was number 5 - chock-a-block with leaves, it took a good while to get any forward movement to exit the lock ...
... until we arrived at lock 10 and ahead we can see another boat coming up the very last lock!
25 to 12 and we're in the bottom lock - so by my reckoning it's taken us just under 2.5 hours to descend 11 locks - not too bad I suppose, just under 13 minutes per lock
A few pictures of the ...
... sky life ...
... on the journey.
Grendon Dock - this old working boat appears to have spent quite a bit of time under the water ...
... there are always interesting boats here.
A lovely mooring just north of the dock ...
... surrounded by ...
... stunning countryside ...
It may have been a bad road (well very nearly) but it was a great journey.
