Friday 9th August
The day starts hot and sunny. Bought bag of Taybright from canal trader, £7.40. Hoping not to need it, but always good to have a supply against chilly evenings.
School starts again after the weekend so the weather will probably perk up then.
Thursday 28th August
Left Rugby at 9.45 and stopped at Old Oaks Wood for breakfast. Continued on to Sutton’s Stop at Hawkesbury arriving at 15.30 for a late lunch. I cleaned the port side of MORE and cleaned brasses and mopped deck. Exercise needed to enable a good night’s sleep. Met couple from NB Bright Angel, from Slimbridge and discussed problems with travel packs. Also met couple from Lancashire, South port supporters, last in the league in 1978.
Wednesday 27th August
Set off about 11.00, cruising to Hillmorton Locks. Medeieval field patterns much in evidence through this rural stretch. Went through the 3 locks without incident with help from 3 local girls and cruised on to Rugby. Went to Tesco for supplies. Bought replacement frying pan. Spent part of evening talking to couple from Ilkeston, Derbyshire out cruising on NB The Oak.
