102_Cruising off the Ashby

Описание: 102_Cruising of the Ashby!!

29th May 2020 Leaving our mooring near Burton Hastings where we stayed overnight behind NB Lingalonga, they made an early start and we followed shortly afterwards. We cruise the last three miles of the Ashby Canal to Marston Junction. We turn left here, passing through Bedworth in a long cutting before mooring just before Hawkesbury Junction for a few days. It was a hot sunny day and after 11 weeks on the Ashby it was a welcome change to cruise somewhere new. I take a walk down to Tesco while here and pick up a few provisions. It was a longer walk than I anticipated and turned out to be just over 2 miles each way. On the Sunday we took a short circular walk round the lake and through the Miners Welfare Park before joining the canal again (approx 2 miles)

We are Patrick and Eileen. In 2018 we decided to quit the rat race by giving up our jobs and selling our home to buy a narrowboat to continuously cruise the inland waterways of the UK. We bought a 57 foot Bickerstaffe boat which we named Dunworkin.

This is a record of our journey, Our Narrowboat Quest to explore the navigable waterways of England and Wales, to continuously cruise throughout the year. Join us as we experience all seasons, the wonders of our beautiful countryside, towns, villages and cities and even our industrial heritage, nowadays an ironic contrast to its raison d'être.
