Another cold grey morning with a spell of rain was a bad start to todays travels. However the weather quickly cleared after we left Athetstone at 8:55. Our route took us past the 19th century Hartshill Yard and on through Nuneaton.

In the past the town has looked rather drab from the waterway which keeps well away from the town centre. However, this time it looked much improved since our last visit with many new houses, older estates hidden by trees and very little litter on the towpath. Beyond Nuneaton lies Marston Juction where the Ashby Canal leaves the Coventry Canal.

We moored for the night 2 miles further on near Hawkesbury Junction on the outskirts of Coventry. So with no locks to delay us and what turned out to be reasonable weather we had an enjoyable cruise despite the lack of major points of interest.
