Ashby Canal Bridge 17 to Bridge 3

Bought a gas bottle at Trinity marina, and decided to simply head home, rather than go any further up the Ashby, especially since we managed to drop off a bag of rubbish at the marina. This meant going to Bridge 16, winding, back to Trinity for gas and rubbishy, winding again in the marina entrance We went past NB Brunel three times!

Some drizzle, but for the most part simply a bit cloudy.

Coventry canal, Bridge 27 to Bridge 21

Wanted to make a trip to Aldi, so pulled in opposite Tomkinson Road Rec. Caught the 10A as before. By the time I got back it was time for a late lunch, and no prospect of finding a better spot, so we stayed put. Largely dry, and weather set to be sunny for a couple of days.
