Down the Coventry

Over the course of this week we have moved on down the Trent & Mersey canal onto the Coventry, during our first evening halt near Streethay we were treated to a display of touch and go flying by an auto gyro and a microlight. Microlight's are common enough but auto gyro's are very few and far between and this guy could handle it really well







We have finally ended up at Hartshill, just outside Nuneaton for the weekend. The weather this week has been mostly sunny, a couple of cool days including yesterday, but today is very hot, inside the boat it is still 28deg and it's half five, not that we are complaining.
Tomorrow we move on down towards the Oxford canal

Sunday 13 June

We moved on from the Shroppi last week and turned on to the Staffs & Worcester, shortly after we passed nb Cartref whom we hadn't seen since last year on the Macc, after an afternoon in Stafford we arrived at Tixall Wide near Great Haywood on Friday afternoon.

Saturday was a really hot day and we got a few jobs done, Sunday, not so warm and now it's raining quite heavily. Next week we will be moving on down the Trent & Mersey to the Coventry canal.

No pics this week my dongle signal is very weak.
