Today I have mostly been working locks! We set off at 9 am and immediately passed through Radford bottom lock. We then meandered through a sleepy Leamington with only the meeting with Terry Streeter and Chris on a southbound Arun breaking the monotony. We stopped at Tescos for a bottlebank and provision stop before continuing onto the cape. We stopped for lunch prior to entering the bottom lock at Hatton at 12:50. We completed the flight solo in 3 hours exactly and so stopped for tea and cake above the top lock to celebrate. Continued on through a very wet Shrewley tunnel and moored just past the junction at Kingswood. After a very good meal at the Navigation we met with Neil Ratcliffe to collect a new copy of Nich's volume 1 that I had ordered on t'internet. A very good day and I am very pleased with our Hatton time. Tomorrow we are entering new territory as Jannock has never done the Southern Stratford before.
