Left the Two Boats and headed for Leamington Spa. The first lock was a staircase and very difficult to open the paddles, and it was very deep. We did this one on our own.
The next locks we were able to double up. A hire boat; four on board; our luck was in. I continued to walk forward to set the next lock. There were 9 in total and I walked three miles. The people from the other boat were from Swindon. So lots of chat. We moored up in Leamington in the centre of town. Supermarket 10 seconds from the boat. John and I both had our hair cut very short so we both look like escaped convicts.
We walked around Leamington and its famous park, the Pump Room and the museum. The sun was shining and we enjoyed our time. We rounded the evening off with supper in a pub where we were able to get on line, but we forgot the Blog.
