We have now stopped for the day at the very busy Rugby moorings. When we arrived at 11:15 there was only one gap about 58 foot long into which I was able to just squeeze the 57 foot Densie.
Our short ourney today started at 9:30 and was uneventful. One point of interest was the unexceptional bridge where the 150mph main line trains cross over the canal. Sadly none turned up in time for the photo. Another was the short 750 foot Newbold tunnel.
Several historic ex-working boats dating from before cargo carrying on the canals ended in 1970 have passed us on their way to the Rally at Braunston to be held over the weekend. We will be going to the Rally by car and I will add some better pictures later.
2 hours, 4.87 miles
