Down the Atherstone locks

It looks like the good weather is over. This morning was rather cold. We were in no great hurry to move so we started the morning by shopping in Atherstone for meat for the next few days - there is a good butcher just off the High Street - and also getting our weekly newspaper for the crossword. The rest of the morning was spent on the computer taking advantage of the good reception in Atherstone.

One small step.... crossing a lock on the Atherstone flight to open the other gate

After lunch we set off down the 11 lock Atherstone flight. Progress was fast as there was little other traffic and many of the locks were set in our favour. So by 15:30 we had finished the last lock and moored up for the night. That's 11 locks and 2 miles in 2 1/4 hours which is pretty good going.
