Date - 2 Oct 06 Day - Monday Start - 0930 All Oaks Corner- Brinklow End - 1650 Dadlington - AshbyCanal
Last night the weather was not the best in the world with rain and gusty winds, however by this morning, things had improved dramatically. It was still a bit windy and cool with week sun and as the day progressed things warmed up to a very pleasant afternoon until the clouds gathered again and the showers started just before 5 pm when we tied up for the night. We pushed off at 9-30 by which time several boats had already left the moorings. there were quite a few boats about as we made or way to Sutton Stop were Diana made a perfect 180 deg turn onto the Coventry Canal. We carried on passed Charity Dock before turning into the Ashby Canal at ten past one. We found the Ashby quite easy going and averaged 3 mph for the first 10 miles. The main thing we noticed since our last visit was the new Trinity complex at Hinckley with a large marina and new pub, but with overnight mooring at £5 per night I don't think we will be stopping for a drink. As we are not in a great hurry when it started to rain we decided to pull over and moor to a convenient piece of piling just prior to bridge 31 Wooden Top Bridge at 1650 hrs. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit my Web site at http://www.harnser.info Yahoo!
