Facing towards Hawkesbury, the hose was not long enough to get water at Stretton Stop. Couldn't see the water point at Ansty, or perhaps there was a boat permanently on it. Tied up equidistant from M6 and M69, between Bridges 12 and 11. Relative peace and quiet, compared to what would follow.
Neighbours said they had moored near Springhaven, and couldn't hear the trains.
