Still feeling pretty rough after a sleepless night we made a later start in
cool misty conditions and moored up in an almost deserted Atherstone to go and
do some shopping. As we returned a boat was just coming up the last two locks so
we quickly packed the produce away and moved off to the top lock. There were
several Volunteers on duty and they kindly helped us through the first 5 locks
giving us a good start to the flight. At the top lock the Volunteers were
operating a Book Swap so a took advantage of it to get myself a couple of new
books to read.
We made good progress through the rest of the locks with only one of them
against us where we helped a single hander on a Braidbar boat through. June did
the locks so that I was able to take it easy for the trip and we moored up
little further on for the evening.
