HI
We have treated ourselves to a couple of days off here in Warwick we stayed here a few years go when Noreen broke her wrist and we really enjoyed the place. anyway this enforced stay has been just as good, I say enforced as we got here yesterday needing a pump out and diesel. We carry a couple of maps they are not for explaining where we are but they have got all the pubs marked, the places where you can get water, fuel, gas and pump outs but mainly used for finding good food,
We decided to fill up with diesel and a pump out here in Warwick as we know the two boat yards but on arrival Delta Boatyard who build excellent boats now do not sell fuel or do pump outs however Kate boats continue to do P.Os but do not sell fuel. Now as in the nxt two days from leaving here we have a flight of 21 locks the Hatten flight and then the Kingswood flight of 19 making 40 in two days I didn't want to tackle these with only have a tank of fuel you can suck up dregs from the bottom of the tank and that causes all sorts of problems. Noreen remembered that a mile behind us there is a large Tesco and that meant a fore court with fuel. We turned around and went in search of fuel I made two trips to the garage carrying 20 Lts at a time I had forgotten just how heavy a full Jerry can is anyway I put on 40lts and feel better for it
So now tomorrow we make the Hatten flight as these are wide locks (two narrow in one lock) we will hopefully pick up a another boat who are heading our way a we can share the work.
Then on Thurs we will turn off the Grand Union and start on the Stratford -on- Avon canal taking us towards Birmingham
Now you know as much about our next couple of days as I do But this is Boating and anything can happen
Stay Good
God Bless
