Bad weather - A short cruise

 There were intermittent periods of light and heavy rain for much of the day.  During the morning we remained moored up in Rugby keeping track of the continually updated weather forecast on the detailed Met Office map.

Moored half a mile before Hilmorton Locks

Finally after lunch there seemed to be a break of 1-2 hours in the forecast rain so we set off towards Hilmorton Locks. But we could not cruise for long as we did not want to operate the locks when the walkways would be wet and slippery.  In any case after 45 minutes the rain started up again so we moored for the day out in the countryside about half a mile from the locks.
