We've parked up and walked up to the
Tea Room which is just below the 'top' lock.
Food's quite good but we're more concerned with trying
to avoid the swarms of wasps that are circulating around here.
Makes for an interesting culinary experience.
Howard at the 'top' lock.
It's all down hill from now on.
It's a bit breezy but it gets less so as we walk down the locks.
We like a breeze - keeps the humidity in check.
Mallards and narrow boats.
A common theme on a walk such as this.
Making friends.
Everything you need to know.
Locks are wide enough for two boats at a time.
Looking down the locks towards Warwick.
Navigating companions.
Mallards chatting about narrow boats and stuff.
Not a selfie.
Mallards still chatting.
The distances between the locks are getting greater now.
We've walked down 18 of the 21 locks and are now
heading back up them to the top of the rise.
This cygnet, outside the Canal Trust offices,
is the only swan we saw all day.
Jane, one of Vicky's old work colleagues we have bumped into,
and an olde-fella wot dunno he's in the photo.
Shame ferrim.
Back at the Tea Room and the wasps are busier than ever.
We choose the Tea and cake 'inside' option.
