Swan nesting by the Ashby CanalAfter eating out last night we were late getting ready to move on. Nothing wrong with the meal, it was very good. The Simla in Coventry Road Hinckley if anyone is in those parts.
We left Trinity Marina moorings at 10:50 in glorious sunshine and for the first time this trip without our fleeces on. By 12 we were at a spot where we had moored overnight on the way up a week ago and so decided to moor for lunch. That over we set off again - passing the swan in the photo. The first swan's nest for this year.
By 2:30 we were back on the Coventry Canal and have moored just south of Nuneaton, again near where we spent a night last week. The sun is shining and the thermometer in the boat is showing 25deg C, all very pleasant.
We really have enjoyed our week on the Ashby, it is a delightful canal to cruise slowly. The lack of locks and many places to visit is more than compensated by the wildlife and the attractive canalside scenary.
