Crick Marina and Home

Well we did not make it to Braunston on Tuesday, we ended up close to Hillmorton Locks, by the golf course.

Wednesdaysaw us setting off at 05:20, passing through Braunston at 08:30 and then climbing the locks with very agreeable company. We waited an hour at Watford and arrived at Crick at 14:00; very knackered!

A superb steak at the Red Lion rounded off the day nicely. Thursday we drove home, and so finished a long but enjoyable voyage.

The main towns we visited were; Warwick, Birmingham, Worcester, Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Sharpness, Stourport, Nantwich, Middlewich, Runcorn, Hanley, Leek, Stoke-on-Trent, Stone, Shugborough, Rugby and back to Crick.

The boring statistics:- 485 miles, 350 locks with 218 engine hours. Make what you like of that! We plan to return to Crick on Thursday 17th.
