Hillmorton top lock

Not much to report today, no ice and a bit more wind, it started fine but started raining just as we pulled in to moor up, not even anything worth a photograph.
A little late getting away as I needed to do some banking, thankfully Lloyd’s AI helper soon gave up on me and gave me a real person. The problem was my stupidity or over confidence. Once away our first stop was Dunchurch Pools to fill with diesel at £1-01 p/l domestic, we use around 10 L/day this time of the year and a bit more when its as cold as this week. We timed it right as no one else was on the service pontoon.
That sorted we were on our way again, meeting a few hire boats as its half term week. We were hoping to moor between bridge 72 and the locks because the edge is better and there is a good hedge between the canal and the railway, unfortunately several other boaters have already had the same idea.

As it was a short blog you can see everywhere we have been on this Google map. The current rout is always blue
