At Kingswood, the Grand Union Canal runs parallel to the Stratford on Avon Canal, linked by a short stretch of canal, the Lapworth Link. We moored up and walked through to see the barrel-roofed lock cottage and pretty iron bridge, still with the central gap to allow horse drawn boats to go under without uncoupling horse from boat.
As we headed towards the next flight of locks at Hatton, this boat had obviously been waiting a long time.
The Shrewley Tunnel... or is it The Third Man?
We moored at the top of the 21 locks of the Hatton flight for the night, preparing for an early start and weather forecast to be torrential rain and thunderstorms.
