A morning doing some minor maintenance to replace the spare drive belt for the hybrid (after I snapped one on the Lancaster canal) and tighten up the stern tube packing. Departing Hopwas around lunch time we made good progress to Peel Wharf on the outskirts of Tamworth for a service and water stop. we then carried on to Frazley Junction to join the Coventry canal proper and to our first locks for a while at Glascote, another stop above the locks to visit the new Co-op and get the makings of a roast dinner for tonight. Out of Tamworth through Alvecote and Polesworth for an intended mooring, but each time we turned a corner the selected moorings were already taken, eventually we found a suitable mooring just after Grendon Bridge. Surprisingly busy for October.
