Now in Warwick

We hoped to be blogging from the Saltisford Canal Centre in Warwick where we have moored a number of times before, but there was no room at the Inn! Winter moorers have stayed put, not tempted by the prolonged Winter, standing in for Spring. We got in, turned well (Cap'n Pete done good), backed all the way down the arm to find an abreast mooring, but no go. So we're on the cut, not too far from Cape locks and the canal pub, Cape of Good Hope. All's well.

We set out to a breezy overcast day, but the rain never happened. Lovely. After the Fosse locks, dropping us to Radford lock at Radford Semele, we travelled through Leamington Spa and towards Warwick on the aqueduct over the river Leam. We turned up at Saltisford after going up the two Cape locks and an hour after, moored up.

Good day! Good to travel again...
