A riverside walk to take in the view of Warwick Castle! Day 270

Wednesday 17th April Day 270

We moored up on the other side of Warwick which is just near Tesco’s so it’s nice and convenient for stocking up. ((Not far to travel with the wine and beer Peachy means!))  We go for a lovely walk along the river and spot a heron eating the biggest fish I’ve ever seen! This walk is right near where the boat is moored and before long we arrive at an amazing view of Warwick castle – stunning.

In the afternoon I’m busily working at the dinette when I hear Chris chatting to someone and next minute there’s a strange pair of legs walking across the stern and then along the gunnel. ((I’m saying nothing!))

It turns out a couple have a cruiser boat which needs rather a lot of work and doesn’t have a working engine at the moment but they have been told they have to move by CRT. By the rules on the canals you can only stay at a location for a certain amount of time unless you have a private mooring or an official Canal and River Trust permanent mooring but as they didn’t have a working engine they were a bit stuck. So Chris helped them to pull the boat across and around our boat so they can moor further up. They compliment our boat which is very nice and we also get another compliment about the look of the boat so all this work must be paying off.

Day done. Cruising day again tomorrow. x
