Br27 to below lock 9 Atherstone flight, Coventry Canal

Another grey day, but at least the rain held off for most of the morning. Stopped for water part way down the locks at Atherstone, which allowed time for a quick shopping trip to the Co-Op just up the road.

Moored below lock 9 mid afternoon before the rain really started. Later in the afternoon we were amazed to see a boat crewed by tigers and other unidentifiable animals, sadly they appeared to be soaking wet on the outside and well lubricated with Pims on the inside!
