The above picture is of Hawkesbury junction or Sutton Stop named after one of the lock keepers which we went through last Friday.Its where the Oxford meets the Coventry canal( the one on the left) The tall chimney is the old pumping house that pumped water into the canal from a deep well.
Sunday morning 07.30 in the middle of nowhere on the Ashby Canal the fields and trees were all covered in snow but by midday it had all gone. The Ashby runs between Rugby and Leicester and is very remote ie no Orange 3g signals at all. I am posting this just outside Hinckley beside a huge new Triumph motorcycle warehouse.We are aiming to leave the Ashby tomorrow and head up towards Fradley and Great Haywood junctions where we can get onto the Trent and Mersey Canal.
