Saturday 6th August
5 miles, 10 locks

| Welsh Road lock for lunch |
A beautiful and very warm and sunny day. Set off on a five mile cruise with ten locks - very hot. Stopped at Welsh Road lock for lunch eaten inside to take a break from the sun. Finally moored in Long Itchington in the shade of an Ash tree,

| Bascote staircase |

| Pub 1 |
Wandered the three quarters of a mile to the village and saw the millenium way sign commenting that next time we were in Long Itchington we would be walking that way.
Had a look at the church - no bells.
Had a drink in the walled garden of the Harvester pub. Lots of exotic palms in pots around the tables made from barrels and pallets, most unusual. Also had a pizza oven/shed in the garden - we resisted!
 |
| The Duck on the Pond |
Walked around the pond before visiting the Duck on the Pond - recently refurbished, very nice, then on to the Two Boats where we were able to sit outside and listen to the cover band whilst watching them through the window.
