Well the Greyhound looks to be doing well for all day Sunday lunches turning the tables over several time in the course of the day and there were only two spots in the afternoon we could book. Strange thing was that when they turned the table next to us it was taken by someone we know.So we had bit of a chat before giving up our table.
After about 11mm of rain yesterday last night turned out to be fine a stary sky, this morning we woke to rain, so I expected to get wet. A little after ten, after Allan on Purton had chugged by we moved over the the water point. While it was filling I went to look at the new, temporary elsan disposal point, it
the top half only dates back to about 1990 or just before, I found a post card dated 1988 of the original building on eBay with a flat roof.
After filling with water we went through the lock and winded in the entrance to the Coventry Canal before coming back up the lock, by now it was 11 am. so almost an hour messing around.
Again we met several boats and much to my surprise and delight, didn’t get wet, I put the brolly up a few times, but it was nothing much.
At Ansty there is no change at the bridge or the house that lost its back garden, there is till the pipe hung across the cut and still a partly closed bridge .
Bridge 26 has sprouted a new set of railings, but only on one side. This bridge had plastic barriers along the edge for ages, may have been years. Now it has a galvanised rail set on a galvanised beam.
Yesterday I mentioned the fish pool by a boat, we today I managed to capture a photograph of the top part of it behind the boat.
We carried on to moor in the same spot as 2 nights ago so I wondered down the bank and photographed the patio that some laid with some old slabs.
Of course the boat in the dyke is still there and I am wondering if I should report it to CRT.
Today’s Journey
8½ miles with 2 locks in 3¾ hours.
