Stretton Stop to Clifton upon Dunsmore

Wayne the electrician came and together we resolved the wiring. All done and paid up: Pump + 1.5 hours + a £1 box of firelighters: £221.59

Water @ Stretton Stop before leaving. Quicker than expected to Newbold Tunnel. Came through to Rugby and stopped after Bridge 58 for a Tesco shop. Dodgy for an overnight mooring, so came on to Clifton upon Dunsmore, between bridges 66 and 68 – the numbering of the bridges on this stretch is bizarre, with a couple of aqueducts on the approach to Rugby numbered as bridges, and some numbers missing all together.
