A busy day today with 23 locks done. We set off about 8:30 and arrived at the top of the Hatton flight at 9:55. Just under 3 hours later we were at the bottom. We shared all the locks with a single hander, so for just three of us it was pretty good going. Our friend Bob and some of his cycling friends met us about halfway down. They said that they would go to the cafe for a coffee and come and help us shortly. Well we only had two locks left by the time they re-appeared!

We moored up for a while at the bottom and had a cup of tea and a catch up chat with Bob and his friends. A short stop for lunch, then down the two Cape Locks and on through Warwick and Leamington Spa to moor up here  in lovely evening sunshine.

Tomorrow we have to climb back up the other side of the valley with another 23 locks!.
