| Leaving the Ashby Canal at Marston Junction |
Back on the Coventry now passing lots of moored boats and allotments through Nuneaton. As we approached Atherstone locks the sulphur hit us with a vengeance! Reversed back up canal to moor and investigate. Paul rang Ian who immediately said a battery had gone. Paul lifted the lid of the battery housing - smoke seeping out through a hole which had melted into the casing - it was very hot. Paul disconnected the negative terminal and we ate lunch while it all cooled down The damaged one is under warranty - Ian will remove it when we get back and send it off.
Worked eleven locks quite quickly a lot of luck with several hire boats coming up.
Moored at Grendon bridge. Hoped that wedding DVD was finished but the service will not play on this version!
