This has been by far our best spring cruising in Hunters Moon. The waterways have been surprisingly quiet and the weather has been so kind to us. We have needed some warm layers at times but our waterproofs have remained firmly out of sight. We have had days of clear blue skies with temperatures soaring over the early bank holiday. We have been reminded that it is still only May by a coolness in the air especially on the river. Aren't we lucky?
So, we are now very near Great Haywood Marina on a beautiful mooring called Tixall Wide from where we will walk, bus, train and bus back to Fenny Compton Marina to collect our car .

Hunters Moon needs a good clean up both inside and out! She has a thick layer of dust coating the outside due to the very dry countryside and she has been used as target practise by some birds so we plan to have a day of cleaning and making her shipshape for our return in early June when we are heading further north to explore the Cheshire Ring.
