Set off at 8.30, waited in the first lock for a boat coming up the previous lock but then they stopped for water above the top lock.
Went into Hatton bottom lock and another boat appeared so we shared with them until we caught up with another boat which had spent the night above the bottom lock. We shared with these Canadians all the way to the top which took 4 hours.
Moored on the long term moorings and walked back to the Waterman for lunch. A choice of 4 beers and I had cooked Oysters.
In the afternoon it rained all the way to Lapworth. We turned off the Grand Union at Kingswood Junction and through the original cut onto the Stratford Canal. Stopped for water then through the next 4 locks to moor at Lapworth Wharf.
Went to the Boot for the evening where the food was so good that we had three coures. I had Crevettes, Roast Suckling Pig and Summer Pudding.
