Bidford to Stratford

Left Bidford at 8.45 on a very different day to yesterday, wet.

When we got to Stratford we moored in Bancroft Basin which now has floating finger pontoons. Peter slipped when he took a line ashore and injured his ankle.

We made it across the road to the Pen & Parchment for lunch.

Later we carried Peters bag to the station so that he could catch a train to London. At the station was the weekly Shakespeare Express waiting to return to Birmingham. Myself and Andy bought tickets for that.

We eventually left at 17.20 and it joined the main line near Hatton. It was strange to be on a steam train going fast. At Snow Hill we caught a normal train back down the Shakespeare line.

In the evening we went to the Golden Bee (Wetherspoons) to eat then to the Rose and Crown.
