Hartshill to below Atherstone Locks, Coventry Canal
Free Beer TODAY!
Set off before 9am - quite late by some boaters standards as boats were passing before 7am, no surprise as it was such a perfect morning.
Made our way steadily down Atherstone Locks, and it is easy to see why water levels cause concern at busy times, as the pounds were getting low. Moored up for lunch and to watch the Grand Prix qualifying at Monaco when a 70ft barge passed by with banner promoting Marstons Pedigree 60th year of production. The boat and crew were on their way to the show at Crick, taking some barrels of beer with them. Have you got a glass they said? of course we had and they very kindly filled 2 tankards for us to sample the Pedigree straight from the cask.
