After a couple of days on the 48 hour moorings in the basin at Stratford we did the short hop out to the A46 bridge on the edge of Stratford.
Stratford has gone downhill since last time I visited. It was, inevitably, always touristy but 20 years ago it maintained some historic town charm. In the past it did have some interesting shops and pubs but now you can't move without falling over a souvenir shop or someone offering a walking tour of the town. It's alright if you have lots of money to spend and want to eat out, which we don't. I was happy to abandon the town center and moor at the foot of the eleven Wilmcote locks.
Tomorrow will be washing day, then another day to try and get it dry so it will be Saturday before we move on.
Today's journey 1.6 miles and 5 locks
So far this year we have travelled 341.1 miles, 284 locks, 34 lift bridges and 12 tunnels
Since Ray retired we have travelled 1076.8 miles, 931 locks, 55 swing bridges, 38 lift bridges and 37 tunnels
