We set off from Anstey at 9:10 in cold blustery weather made less comfortable by light rain blown in the wind. By 12:30 we had reached Rugby where we stopped for a rest and some lunch on board.

We set off again at 13:15 and when we reached Hilmorton Locks we were pleased to be assisted by volunteer lock keepers on 2 of them. The gusty wind continued throughout the journey and could have made manoeuvring in the marina very difficult. Fortunately the wind direction pushed the boat directly towards our moorings. We finally tied up at 16:05.
