Sunday 9th June

Hartshill to Bodymoor Heath

Arrived at Atherstone top lock just as another boat was ready to go down. So we followed them down with some assistance from the boat behind.

We had lunch on board but we stopped at the Samuel Barlow for a pint and took advantage of their water point while we there sitting outside on leather sofas and chairs!

At Fazeley junction we turned left onto the Birmingham and Fazeley canal. We moored for the night one lock above the Dog and Doublet. We had booked a table for 730. They wouldn't take a later booking as they close early if the can on a Sunday, however we were not the last to leave. We have a long day tomorrow.
