Today we ascended the 2 Cape locks in Warwick followed by the 21 locks of the Hatton flight. We had planned to do this tomorrow but brought it forward because of the forecast of heavy rain. That forecaset had changed with rather less rain but today still looked much more hopeful.

We set off at 8:50 from our Warwick mooring passing through the Cape locks on our own and reaching the bottom of the Hatton flight an hour afterwards. Fortunately there was another boat, Awyganna (Durham dialect for “Are we going?”), waiting to go up. So we partnered with them for the whole of the flight.
We reached the top of at about 14:00, filled up with water and moored up for the night immediately afterwards as we were too tired to travel any further.
Weather - dry cool, some sunshone, breezy
3.75 miles, 23 locks, 5 hors 40 minutes
