Sunday 9 Sep 2012

Off the Ashby, off the Coventry, and on to the North Oxford Canal down to Braunston.

Which way to turn at the end of the Ashby - what a dilemma! Well it was near lunchtime, and so the draw of The Greyhound at Hawkesbury sorted that out! We turned left, (thinking we can always turn again at Hawkesbury) The pub was busier than the canal, and the day was so perfect we stayed overnight at Hawkesbury.


The next morning the sky was absolutely cloudless, and we decided to continue south and so onto the Oxford Canal.

Here is the crew, ready to go, but not before a dash about with a miniature Bentley, named Cara.
She was a delight, also rehomed from Ireland, mixed with spaniel, just as we suspect Bentley is.They made a lovely couple!


This is the inside of Newbold on Avon Tunnel - and every time we go through it, there are fewer and fewer disco lights glowing.. A sign of the times.

A lovely weekend, lots of boats out, more than we can recall, all this summer, but the barometer is falling fast

We are now back at Braunston, very familiar to us.
