Day 7 - Brinklow to Coventry Basin
Monday 15th September - 12 miles, 1 lock
Cloudier, cooler morning. Cruised down to Hawksbury junction. Had a short queue for the four inch stop lock. Couldn't remember the name of Karen's boat.
Decided to go into Coventry basin which is smaller than I imagined - canal very quiet, not many brave boaters about. Got fouled once, also ran over a plastic trike that had been thrown into the water.
Moored easily did a quick Sainsburys shop. When we got back to the boat Paul had a go at the chimney with Viakill which worked well on the brass - you can actually see that it is brass now - who needs a new chimney!
