Hartshill to Hopwas.

Up in good time to get to the 11 locks that make up the Atherstone flight. Steamboat Adamant was in front of us descending the locks. They are heading for the Steam boat rally at Alvecote.
Sue & Betty help with the lock for steam boat Adamant.

Betty helps out on the Atherstone locks. No6 -  5 more to go.


Combine harvester has been busy.

Three steam boats moored at Alvecote.

We've had a long day, sunny spells, a few showers and plenty of banter with other crews. We are now  moored at Hopwas 15 miles and 13 locks from where we started.
