The last few days have been fantastic spring boating days and on Wednesday we left Ansty and cruised through to open countryside and moored past Hartshill and just before bridge 35. Nuneaton is nothing special but the allotments that you pass are something else and are ready for the new growing season.

| This is the view from the stern of the boat near bridge 35 |
 |
| The entrance to the branch that went to the old Wyken Colliery which is now used for private moorings |
 |
| This is a Stowe Hill River Cruiser "Boudicca" built in 2002 and just been refurbished and looking very fine indeed. Its moored at Hawkesbury Junction with the old pump house behind it which housed a steam pump engine called Lady Godiva built in 1721.. |
 |
| Marston junction-the Ashby canal goes off to the left under the bridge |
 |
| A great looking Roadster parked in the yard of Starline Boats |
 |
| We have seen these SUB's on the sea -this is the first time on the canal (SUB is stand up board) its like a windsurfer but without the sail and a lot more hard work. |
