Last night we moored opposite the old hat factory, some years ago there were plans to convert it into housing but nothing ever happened.
We pushed off about 1030 and again the canal was very quiet only meeting two boats all day.
Again we saw a boat with an interesting stack cap. anything to keep the rain out.
At Mamcetter the Rother Group have this crawly thing for going through very weedy water, they also have sola powered alarm systems for site security. We saw them take one to a CRT work site the other trip
At the winding hole this cruiser stern is getting further out into the navigation channel. most of it under the surface.
On the way up we moored at Hartshill and as we left I saw what I thought was a car in the field, it looks as if I was right. It’s right in the ploughed bit.The registration number is PJ05 YJR in case you recognise it
Yet another sunk cruiser a bit further along, more expense for CRT to remove at some point. Boat with a grab and then disposal of the remains.
We chugged on through Nuneaton and past the big offside distributing to the south of Nuneaton and the large new housing estate on the tow path side where we found a nice bit of piling to moor to for the night.
