MONDAY 23RD APRIL 2012
We had again moored in a
very attractive setting, which whilst I was hurriedly tying up yesterday
afternoon, before the rain returned I hadn’t fully appreciated. The sun was out
today and it actually felt warm, it was also encouraging to see water continuing
to pour of the surrounding fields into the canal and with more rain forecast
for the week hopefully it should prevent any more drought related canal closures.
We cruised about six
miles to Stoke Golding, passing the delightfully set Ashby Canal Centre at
Wykin Bridge with their smart fleet of red hire boats.
There are good moorings
for the attractive villages of Stoke Golding and its close neighbour, Dadlington,
on the opposite side to the towpath. We walked through both villages and with a
choice of three pubs decided on the Dog & Hedgehog in Dadlington only to
realise that I hadn’t got my wallet, disaster! At least SKYY isn’t dry.
