Today we left the Ashby Canal back on to the Coventry Canal heading back.

On Tuesday we started our journey back to Brinklow.

Last night we had a great evening in The Globe with Paul and Jhen.

On Friday we reached our destination mooring at the entrance of Snarestone Tunnel after getting settled we walked the dogs to the end of the canal.

This is our last trip with Peter and Dianne on Plan B as Plan B will be sold on our return to the Marina.

This was our first nights mooring on the Ashby.

It was grey start to our trip down the Ashby Canal.

This the start of our two week journey with Craig aboard our first stop is Hawksbury Junction.

After watching the weather forcast for Friday we decided to have an early start and return to the Marina bringing our trip to an end.

The neighbours at tonights moorings the ones on the towpath grazed on the grass by the boat for about an hour.

Last night was the last BBQ for this trip we cancelled Monday as we thought Tuesday would be the better day.

But as we lit the BBQ's the rain started but like true Brit's Peter and I had a couple of beers and the sun shone just as we ate.

Last night we moored a few locks down on the Napton Flight and this morning we completed the flight, that's the last of the locks until we reach Hilmorton.

After a short damp cruise mooring overlooking the Oxfordshire countryside and looking at somebodys over zealous use of a chainsaw.

We had planned to stay in Cropedy Marina for a couple of days but had to stay for an extra day because of broken beam on a lock.

Today we have moved on to Fenny Compton travelling through Fenny Tunnel which was a originally a tunnel which had to be demolished because of poor foundations which leaves very thin section on the canal.

We also had our first soaking on our trip this year and a large thunder storm.

Normally for Dianne and Peter's Anniversary we would go to a pub or resturant but this year Peter cooked a great meal and we would have had to go along way to find some where with the view.

We have now turned around at Thrupp fighting our way through the public in canoes to return to a nice mooring where we are going to stay for a couple of days.
