So today we reached Warwick, and in particular the Saltisford Arm, site of the SO Rally. But as we are a couple of days early, having planned for at least 2 rainy days, we’ve shot past onto Leamington Spa. This is a miniature Bath, with some fine buildings and gardens. I’ve explored this afternoon as Hazel naps, she is worn out after 2 heavy days of locking, to which I might add I did my share of heavy paddle winding then leaping back onto the boat. She reckons the Hatton Flight was worse than Hearbreak Hill, in Cheshire. 

Shrewley Tunnel, T42’s navigation lights in use. Note the seperate tunnel for horses, boats were “legged” through.

Leamington Spa, beautiful gardens and Georgian building.
