Rowington to Leamington Spa
Early start to get to Hatton. However we made slow progress as the pound was low. On arrival at Hatton top lock we filled up with water while waiting for a boat to share the locks with. No boat had appeared by the time the tank was full, however a working boat had come up the flight so we started down solo to take advantage of the full locks. We made reasonable progress with 3 people and only using paddles on one side, and got down the flight in 3 1/2 hours.
Moored near the Cape of Good Hope and went there for a late lunch. The beer seemed a bit fizzy to me but he food was nice however it was strage to be there when it was empty.
After lunch we carried on to Leamington Spa stopping at Tesco on the way, as we had decided to spend the night there for the first time on Jacob. This is because there are now more pubs in the GBG in Leamington Spa than in Warwick, and we were encouraged by our lunchtime visit last year.
We had dinner on board then went to the Talbot Inn and Somerville Arms, both of which we had visited last year and the Woodland Tavern which was a new entry and open till later.
