The Coventry Canal




Sokai exiting Fazeley Junction.


Tame Aqueduct over the river of the same name....no.....don't jump!!!!


Glascote locks just the two.... and well known as being slow fillers...


and a bit of a queue... only 4 boats in front.


We all help to lock them through.


Just Sokai to come through now.


Alvecote Marina with historical boat Kildare moored alongside.





Polesworth's tribute to it's mining past.


Bradley Green marks the foot of the Atherstone flight of 11 locks.  Again renowned as being slow fillers.



Trev holding Arkholme while I am emptying the lock.


We moor for the weekend between lock 5 and 6.
Cox Auto Engineers is a short walk from here and hopefully they are going to repair our 'Travel Pack'


View from the side hatch - Mrs Moorhen nurturing her chicks.


The chicks venture out of the nest for the first time.



So Scores on the doors

235 1/2 miles, 125 locks, 9 swing bridges and 4 tunnels
