Day 10 - Hawksbury Junction to Stoke Golding

Thursday 18th September - 12 miles

Another breezy cloudy start. As we prepared to leave Hawksbury junction we noticed another boat moored at the water point - we recognised Joseph the dog, we last saw them in Worcester on 17th July having spoken to them in Droitwich on 15th July.



Moored near Stoke Golding

We are now on the Ashby canal. Cruised on to Hinckley where we moored at bridge 15 the Roman road Watling Street now the A5. Now sunny but still breezy.

As we pulled away we passed a boat filling up with water and I realised it was Becky - who used to work at MCHS - and Paul on their boat Iona.

Cruised for a couple more hours passing a farm shop which I will visit on the way back. Moored between Stoke Golding (where we hired from in April 2001) and Dadlington. Went for a circular walk through Stoke Golding before dinner.
