| Going under M42 |
It was dry today when we got up which was good as we are
chugging on today, mind you only a couple of miles to Hopwood.
 |
| Going over small aqueduct |
On along the canal we went, under the M42 motorway and past
Lower Bittell Reservoir, this is such a nice spot but there are no visitor
moorings here only long term so no place to stop which is a pity.
 |
| Passing Lower Bittell Reservoir |
Along a nice straight bit of canal and around the bend and
we were at Hopwood, we went past the pub, Hopwood House and moored under the
bridge in the visitor moorings.
There was only one boat here when we moored up, but it
filled up during the afternoon. We had
some lunch then walked down to the small garden centre which is a the bottom of
a lane opposite the pub.
We are staying here tomorrow as well as the weather forecast
is not great and we are only fair weather boaters these days, boating in the
rain what a horrible thought!!

| Moored at Hopwood |
It doesn't seem two minutes since we brought Smuggler to stay when you were at Hopwood last year :-)
ReplyDeleteWe often moor at Hopwood to allow Honor to recover from travelling through the tunnel or to prepare herself for the experience!!
