Ashby and back to Hawkesbury Junction

It's been 4 days since our last blog due a lack of a decent signal, so let's catch up.  We spent half a day looking round Coventry, visiting  the cathedral and Spon Street, but not much else to say about it, although the Basin itself is very good mooring and probably very colourful in the summer when more boats are about.  Just short of Hawkesbury Junction we were delayed for 45 minutes as BW were electrically stunning fish for removal to re-stock a local reservoir that had been emptied. See Pics. 

Chugged back down and turned on to the Ashby Canal, spending the night moored near Burton Hastings before going on up to Shenton, visiting the station and Bosworth Field visitor's centre.

Next day, to the top of the Ashby Canal at Snarestone before turning round and returning to Shenton for the night.  Now, the 7th, back at Hawkesbury Junction, visted the Greyhound again and this time tried the Lock Keeper's grill. What a plateful and  once more can can certainly recommend it.

Good to see some sunshine today hope it lasts for tomorrow's chug to Hillmorton Locks.
