Oxford Canal, Bridge 12 to Nuneaton

Cloudy day, a few drops of rain, bright sunshine late afternoon.

Took on water at Hawkesbury Junction, in spite of the slow tap, because of uncertainty of plans.

Stopped just after Bridge 21 on the Coventry, and took the NÂș10 bus to the Kingswood Road Aldi – very useful connection, with a regular 10/15 minute service.

Moved the boat on a couple of hundred yards to armco opposite the Tomkinson Road Recreation Ground. Feels a good mooring.
