We returned to our home moorings at 3pm after a 6 hour trip from Fazeley along the Coventry and Trent & Mersey canals. We have made this journey several times before so it was very much a matter of getting there as fast as possible with little concern for the sights along the way.
Everyday this week the forecast has been for heavy rain. Virtually none has materialised, until today. The last 1.5 hours of the trip were completed in pouring rain with thunder and lightning. We have full wet weather gear on board so we did keep mostly dry, but it's not much fun.
So the Summer 2010 Expedition is over. Some statistics - 307 miles, 278 locks, 4 boater operated lift/swing bridges, 169 hours travelling over a period of 60 days.
No more blogs until our next trip - possibly a short one in September. You could try the Subscribe To facility at the bottom of the page to be informed when the blog starts again - never used it myself so cant promise anything.
