last night's mooring above Preston Bagot bottom lock
Our journey up the Stratford Canal to Kingswood Junction was busy with boats. Much more so than our downward trip only a couple of days ago. I lockwheeled most of the way from Preston Bagot to Kingswood Junction: only four miles, but with 16 locks. Then we crossed to the Grand Union, and went down to Hatton.

Shrewley Tunnel must be one of the wettest tunnels on the network. When we emerged it looked as if it had been raining (and I can't remember the last time we had proper rain!)
At Hatton Ben met us with a barbecue and food, so we had a good towpath BBQ.
There seem to be a few boats heading our way, so I expect we'll team up with one for the descent to Warwick.
