Hatton Locks DONE

We spent a very lovely time in the Saltisford Arm very clean and tidy moorings with good facilities, close to Shops and a fantastic Hardware store called Tooleys.
I needed some MDF cut for a small job I am doing, they cut it to the exact sizes I needed and charged me for what I had cut not like other larger DIY stores that charge you for the whole 8 x 4 sheet
We had a walk around Warwick before doing a small shop in Sainsburys for a few things we needed.

This little fellow was enjoying his breakfast just outside are window.


We woke to a rainy start to Saturday but the weather forecast said it would clear over by 9.00 so we got ready for the off and the start of Hatton Locks all 21 of them.
Lucky for us a very nice bunch of folks (4) of them on a boat moored behind us were also going up the locks as well so we buddied up with them. The weather forecast was correct and the rain stopped and we had lovely blue skies.
With the help of Keith,Sue, Kit and Jane from the other boat we managed to do all 21 locks in 2 hours 45 mins which we were very pleased with so thanks guys enjoy the rest of your trip.

We carried on through Shrewley Tunnel, what a very wet tunnel that one is, water cascading down all over the place so I got a little wet.

This Picture is credited to my dear wife Sharon who took this with her Hudl. coming out of the Northern end of the Tunnel, a great Picture I think.










We moored at Rowington a very quiet mooring and it seems it might be the Christmas Tree capital of the country. We have never seen so many fields with Christmas Trees in right from young saplings to enormous ones.

Christmas Trees everywhere.
