Thursday 15th August 2013 - Stratford upon Avon to Wilmcote

Left Maisy on the boat whilst we went into town to buy Kim a birthday present - she is coming over to us on Saturday which will be nice.  We also went to Morrisons to get the weeks shopping.  Late morning we cast off and made our way over to the lock - the last on the Avon and first on the Stratford upon Avon Canal.  The gongoozlers were wall to wall watching us lock through, with lots of photos being taken of us - er why?  There followed a tricky manoever through a low tunnel, then the first of the Stratford flight of 15 locks.

Found a very quiet spot to moor for the night near bridge 58.  Took Maisy a late evening walk down a footpath through a wood and across a railway line out into the fields - Maisy loved it.  Brought some wood back with us for the fire as its getting noticeably chillier.

Nice CRT Volunteer lockie who helped us up some of the flight.  Took a bottle of iced water in exchange
