The weather forecast for today was terible - heavy rain all day. However we need to get back home on Sunday so had to make progress today to avoid very long days for the remainder of our journey.
We set off in the rain at 9:15. There are waterproof jackets, trousers, wellies and a large umbrella on board so we were able to keep dry each taking it in turns to drive whilst the other one held the umbrella. As the Ashby has no locks there was no need to get off the boat and we made fast progress as the water level was even higher thanon our journey out.
By lunchtime we were getting somewhat fed up with the weather so we moored for the day at 1pm near the village of Dadlington.
Sorry no photos!
8.78 miles, 0 locks, 3 hours 40 mins cruising.
