Set off under blue skies and straight through the first lock. After that every other lock was against us. During the afternoon the rain started and wind got up and it was bad enough for us both to get our foulies on. Caught up with the boat ahead, which was a slow moving wide beam - but a nice family. They stopped at Bidford, where we had hoped to stop, but they took the last mooring! So we had to continue....
Eventually we stopped just beyond the 'Gordon Grey' lock outside Stratford - a beautiful quiet spot, except or the weir next to us.
These are the voyages of Ken, Annie and dog Peggy. As we cruise we will try and keep the blog up-to-date - internet access permitting of course. Ceilidh is a 54ft cruiser style narrowboat. It was built by J Pinder Ltd for Black Prince hire boats in 1995.
