Carry on boating

On Wednesday Ray ended up talking to the manufacturers of our gearbox, thought we were going to have to have the gearbox removed and fixed, had a bit more of a fiddle with it and now (at no cost) we have a properly functioning gearbox again.

We decided to stay at Sutton Stop for Thursday as we had good internet, TV and radio connections. I remembered from previous trips on the Coventry Canal that the signal is rubbish on a lot of it. I couldn't bear the thought of election night with no info, although the way things went I wish I hadn't bothered.

We are now at the top of Atherstone Locks, hopefully we will make it through the locks and up to Tamworth tomorrow but the weather forecast is not nice.

Today's journey 11.5 miles and 1 lock.
So far we have travelled 158.1 miles, 157 locks, 4 swing bridges, 2 lift bridges and 3 tunnels.
