Atherstone locks and town Day 5

Thursday, 2 May 2013

Thursday has been a lovely and warm day and we have both been in short sleeves for a very pleasant cruise down the 11 Atherstone locks. Anne steered the boat whilst I did all the locks-great. We stopped by bridge 43 for the short walk into Atherstone which is worth the effort with a good mix of shops and only a few empty. We stopped for the night just past bridge 50 in open countryside

Old butty that requires some work at Narrowcrafts Grendon Works

A very sad sight near bridge 36 Mancetter
