Rugby and Brinklow

 Woke up this morning to find it had been raining overnight. And it is rauning as I write this.  Good for the garden but not enough to make much difference to the canals, although we have not been affected by lack of water anyway.

We set off at 9:20 and arrived in Rugby an hour later.  There is a Tesco close to the canal so an opportunity to buy some a few things, including some kitchen scales.  Our old ones which we had owned snice we bought the boat 16 years ago stopped working.

At 11:30 we set off again north west on the North Oxford to Brinklow.  A  pleasant rural journey but little of gtreat interest,  one short tunnel and no locks.  At Brinklow the canal passes through woodland and we moored shortly afterwards at 13:30.

3 hours, 6.77 miles,
