09-15 Hopwas on Coventry Canal

Tuesday 15th September:  The weather forecast for today was for a dry but cloudy day so we made to set off by 10:30 (last to leave our mooring spot). Had a green bug hitch a ride today.

Brief stop at bridge 64 (should have been 66 but Bridie misread the guide!) for a Tesco shop then onwards to Glascote locks where we watered up at the top lock (despite some idiot who thought the lock landing was a mooring!) Whilst watering up and for the duration of the descent of the two locks we had a cloud burst and got wet.  However it soon cleared up and was fairly pleasant as we cruised through Fazeley to moor at Hopwas for the evening.  Off for a dog walk along the canal through the woods first and then a visit to the Thame Otter for an excellent three course evening meal (possibly the best meal of our entire cruise).
