Yesterday we left our over night mooring at Harvington, four miles up stream we stopped at Bidford for supplies. Then made it another half mile to the next lock. Decided it was just damned hot and called it a day.
We set off earlier today to get somewhere before the heat of the afternoon. Cruising the rivers is beautiful and good for the soul, but, not very interesting. You have the river, trees and fields. That's about your lot apart from the occasional bridge and locks.
This could be anywhere along the Avon.The locks add a bit of drama they go from benign to ferocious at the winding of a gate paddle.
We have moored up for the night at Luddington, Shakespeare was married here. It's a beautiful spot.
After lunch we crossed the lock bridge.
To do a spot of extreme paddling.
Before going home to Maya for a sausage buttie tea.
