Warwick

Here I am Rune

Distance 3 miles

Total 2185 Locks  90 Tunnels

Running total mileage 3114.1 miles 

As stated yesterday, today we have definitely reached Warwick and I think we will be remaining here for a few days. It would have been a bit of a pathetic effort if we hadn’t reached Warwick today since it was only 3 miles and 2 locks, so barely a morning’s work. 

As we passed along the canal the Inland Waterway Association, in conjunction with CRT were having a canal clearing day, if I’d known about it I might have joined in. They seem to have pulled a lot of cycles out of the canal along with a couple of motorcycles and, of course, some supermarket trolleys. Some of the stuff they pull out thought does rather beg the question’ How did that get in there?’, this crossed our minds as we passed and ironing table that they had pulled out. You can try to imagine the conversation, “Well there I was just ironing on the towpath and a gust of wind blew the ironing table into the canal!!”, doesn’t really have the ring of authenticity does it?

Next few days will be spent re-visiting Warwick although I’ve now made an appointment to pop up to Birmingham tomorrow for a blood donor session.
