Stratford and beyond
We finished the Wilmcote flight in to Stratford on Friday arriving at around 6pm. With no moorings left in Bancroft basin we moored on the last bit of canal immediatly before the basin. Friday night, on the recomendation of a friend who lives localy we visited the excellent Grants of Sheep Street where we had an excellent, and extremly well priced meal, highly recomended.
Saturday a lazy morning with late breakfast, then an afternoon spent doing chores on the boat, including managing to finish polishing one side, plus the usual selection of minor repairs. also a visit to the floating River Information Centre to buy an Avon License for £50.
Saturday evening to the RSC Coutyard theatre to see a performance of Much Ado about Nothing, in an Indian setting and an entirly Indian cast. It worked extreemly well and an entertaining evening was had by all. A late curry in the Thespian to follow.
Sunday another late start while we waited for crew to arrive then set off through the hoards of gongoozlers through Bancroft Basin and out on to the River Avon mooring for the night at Pilgrim Lock in splendid isolation.
Monday morning a gentle day saw is in Evesham mid afternoon where we say goodby to another member of crew before finally mooring for the night at Craycombe Turn, nicely rural but unfortunatly adjacent to a busy main road and a railway line not too far away.
