Shopping first thing, under way at about 12.30 with weather getting warmer all the time. Only a brief queue at Wood End and Fradley, where we turned right on to the Coventry Canal. Tied up just past Bridge 90 – good armco (though slightly too broad for our hooks) and pretty quiet in spite of the proximity of the A38. CanalPlan had suggested by Bridge 90A, but this spot is much better.
Water at Fradley, just past the junction. Washing load run while travelling, and out on the Vango once we'd stopped.
9 miles, 3 locks, 1 swing bridge, 4.5 engine hours
