We have been moored in the
Lapworth Link for over a week now so will have to move on soon as our two weeks
will be up. We’ve really liked this
spot; it’s quite unusual to moor near boaters’ facilities and still have a
peaceful time. Usually lots of boats
seem to congregate where there is easy access to facilities which can make it
seem really busy. There are a few boats
around, apart from us, but they are on permanent moorings in a little basin
near us. Most of the boats seem to be residential,
and as is usual, all the people we’ve met have been really friendly and helpful
with local advice.
Monday is traditionally
washing day so once it was all finished it was time for a quick reverse round
the corner to top up the water tank.

Setting off under clear
blue skies on Monday morning

After taking on water I
took all our belongings off the roof and gave the boat a good scrub and hose down. It never comes up clean when just one of us
does the job but it had got so dirty that it was definitely worth doing.
Even though it was a windy
day, it was very spring-like as I believe it was across most of the country. In the afternoon Buddy and I found a good
circular walk involving yet another unclassified country road and in the
evening Karen and I went to our Monday bridge lessons in Stratford.
When we move off from here
we will be heading down the South Stratford canal. It is only 13 miles to the centre of
Stratford but there are 34 locks to descend.
Looking at this map of our route , you
can see that Karen's office (in the red circle) will be easily accessible wherever we
moor on the route. It ldoesn't look like it will ever be more than ten miles away either which is good news too.
