We are turning around today and heading back up the canal,
so we set off early down the canal to just before the lock and turned around
there in the old Derby Canal Arm which is now a Boat Club. There was a couple of boats waiting to go
down the lock and one coming up but they were filling the lock very slowly so
it didn’t affect us turning around and Kev did it very well as usual, the chap
on the towpath waiting to go down the lock said to Kev “You have done that
before haven’t you” and Kev said yes but not here. I think the chap was impressed and would have
given Kev at least a 9 if he had a score card to hold up!

Once turned around, we moored up at the water point to get
water and get rid of rubbish. Once that
was done, we headed along the canal, it was a lovely sunny morning and really
warm for once!
We were only going less than two miles and soon we were at
our destination, The Ragley Boat Stop.
It is moorings at the bottom of a pub garden, they are really nice.

We went up to the pub for lunch, it was really nice inside
but as it was so warm and sunny we sat outside in the large garden. We had their lunch menu which was £3.99 for
one course and there was quite a choice.
If you had this menu, then there was a selection of puds for £1 each! The main menu was very reasonably priced as
well, a good cheap and cheerful place. The food was very good especially for the
price and the service was good, they were very friendly.
We are staying here tonight then heading back to Willington
tomorrow.
