Sunday & Monday: turn around in Rugby and return to the marina

 No diary yesterday as we did not have internet connectivity.  Everythig now working OK.

On Sunday we travelled up the North Oxford Canal to Rugby.  We turned the boat around as this was the last opportunity to do so as the canal is blocked by the collapse of a cutting a few miles further on at Brinklow. We moored for the night just after climbing Hilmorton Locks which we had descended on Saturday.

5.23 miles, 3 locks, 2 hours 40 mins


Returning to our marina behind a slow hire boat

Today we awoke to heavy rain but it had stopped by the time we set off at 9:45  The weather was cold and windy so we decided to return to the marina at 11:35, a day earlier than originally planned.  But there were no problems on the journey so our objective was achieved.


4.05 miles 0 locks, 1 hour 50 mins
