A cold bright sunny morning greeted us. Susan and Mazey walked alongside me as it was such a lovely day.

| Mooring nr. Radford Road Bridge |
The boat moored in front of us last night got to the lock first and waited - thankfully!! The boat is named "Fandango" and is a privately hired holiday boat. Fandango shares the locks (10 in all) before pulling over so that Martin and his wife can have some lunch. They are hoping to buy their own boat next year....

| Bascote Locks |

| Bascote staircase lock |
On we go for another 2 locks which are shared with a hotel boat named "Takara". This is their last trip of the season. Their clients are two elderly ladies who are having a wonderful time.
The sky changes quickly from blue to dark grey and then all hell breaks loose - hailstones - they hurt..... great big ones.....

| Itchington between Bottom and Top lock |
Once through the last lock I moor up in a very pretty place - the Blue Lias pub. Susan and Pete have dinner here later....
Total achievement today: 12 Locks and 5.5 miles.
