Saturday 8th June

Brinklow marina to Hartshill

Set off at 9 to get to the Greyhound for lunch. The restaurant there was fully booked but there was one table free in the bar. The food and drink were excellent as usual.

After lunch we turned right at Hawkesbury junction onto the Coventry canal towards Fazeley.

For the evening we decided to avoid Atherstone and stop at the Anchor near Hartshill to check it out now that it has changed hands. It's still an Everards pub and hasn't changed much with 2 Everards beers and a guest or seasonal Everards beer. After a light dinner on board we walked up the hill into Hartshill. We found a shop to get some more provisions and checked out the Stag and Pheasant but decided to give it a miss and go to the Malt Shovel which is in the GBG.
