We stopped at the boatyard at Streethay Wharf to buy some odds and sods and were welcomed by the new owners. This is where we had some over plating done on our previous boat together with a complete repaint.
We ploughed on past lots of housing. One such house had a huge plate glass window so time for reflections!
One of the most famous junctions on the canal system is at Fradley where the Coventry canal joins the Trent and Mersey. It is notoriously busy but we were very surprised to find very few boats there. It certainly the quietest that we have ever seen it. The junction is dominated by the Swan pub where we had lunch.
Outside the Gents
The C&RT Office and Café site
Inside the arts and craft shop
Once again we find ourselves in a remote spot for the evening just beyond Wood End lock.
