Athrstone to Hopwas
Late start to the day, even Bentley slept in until 8.20. Normally he is trying to pull us out of bed by 6.30am.
Headed towards the boatyard at Alvecote Marina only to find them closed on Mondays. Should have guessed. There were, however, several Samuel Barlow boats moored up in the marina.
After lunch we carried on towards the locks at Glascote only to find a long queue of waiting boats. Apparently a culvert by one of the locks had become blocked and BW had to bring in divers to clear it as it was flooding a nearby cottage.
Finished the journey to Hopwas in pouring rain. Walked through Hopwas passed the "Tame Otter" pub and they appeared to be hosting a childrens party. The little darlings were having great fun pulling all the developing apples off a tree and throwing them at each other, not a parent in sight!!
