Kate Boats in Warwick have a marvellous canalside building
I set the Cape Locks and we got under way at 0800. At Leamington Spa we stopped by bridge 39 for David to have a look at the art deco-style concrete building on the offside. We made slow progress up the locks today as they were all against us (again).

Today felt very much like the chore of getting back to the marina and end of holiday which it was. At least it didn't rain!

As the light began to fade at about 1515 we got to Stockton Top Lock where we started cleaning the boat. Then, before it got too dark, we moved to a mooring just outside the marina to have a tea of liver and bacon, and continued with the boat clean.
David left to drive home at 1815, meanwhile I loaded some stuff into my car, and went to bed at 2000!
