Part 4 - Chapter 6

"You know this part of the trip by now, even if you didn't know it

before you started to read the book! A two-hour wait at the top of Watford Locks..."

Christine, leaning and waiting

"We descended as far as Braunston Bottom Lock,

mooring up for the night without going down."

Preparing to descend the next morning.

"Turning right onto the Coventry Canal, we arrived at Marston Junction at around 6:00pm."

"We moored very soon afterwards, beyond bridge 2."

"It was a lovely spot, and the weather was still fine."

  

"Thursday morning, too, was beautiful as we moved off up the canal."

"Missing my exercise bike and the locking, I took a brisk walk

along the towing-path for the first hour or so, and loved it."

."It's delightful countryside here, and has the advantage of being

miles away from the railway we'd been so close to for some time."

  

Sutton Wharf

Battlefield Moorings

"These moorings offered a good, plastic

(fake wood) bank edge to moor against."

."...close to the site of the Battle of Bosworth."

The end of the Ashby

"We went to look at the new section of the canal,

now slowly filling with water from the canal behind it."

  

"We winded, and set off back down the Ashby in search of food."

"Don't ask why, but I only took three photos that day, and those all of teasels!"

"Mike and Christine started the day walking the towpath together for the first few miles."

"They stood on the bridge at Marston Junction and watched as

Grace took Kantara left out of the Ashby onto the Coventry Canal again."

Mike's not normally camera-shy!

"Hawkesbury Junction next, and left onto the Oxford Canal and moving on."
