After our exertions of yesterday we started out a little later today.
We had a slow journey as there were lots of boats on the move and the locks here are slow to fill and empty. It looks as if the blackberries may be worth picking in about a week so we may get some on the way back, there are some elderberries that look about ripe too. I seem to have missed the rowan berries though, maybe next year. I found a few cob nuts, but they aren't ready for harvesting yet either.
We managed to reach Wootton Wawen by about three, paid a visit to the farm shop and craft centre, then moved on about half a mile so we were away from roads so the cats could go out. As we are planning a couple of nights in the basin at Stratford they will probably be stir crazy before next time they have their freedom.
Today's journey 4.5 miles and 9 locks
So far this year we have travelled 332.6 miles, 262 locks, 34 lift bridges and 12 tunnels
Since Ray retired we have travelled 1068.3 miles, 909 locks, 55 swing bridges, 38 lift bridges and 37 tunnels
