It is lovely to be back on board and travelling again. We are so lucky with the weather as well. Almost as we left off in July except for the cooler, damper mornings and the nights have drawn in a lot. Today we sweltered whilst descending the Stockton flight and our first staircase of locks at Bascote. Since our departure on Tuesday we have already come down over 30 locks and are now at the bottom!!!
Our spirits are high and we have enjoyed a couple of delightful evenings barbequeing on the towpath and watching the sun go down with a glass or two!
Tonight we have reached Leamington Spa and a pub - hence the blog update. We hope to explore the area tomorrow when rain is forecast and then move on to Warwick.
