Hartshill.... a nice mooring, so long as the wind is blowing in the right direction.... if not, the smell from the dog food processing factory can be a bit overpowering. Winter moorings available from 1st November to 31at March (2011/2012) although the only facility nearby is water...... however, the bus service is good... Stagecoach service Number 48 has a 20 minute service to either Atherstone or Nuneaton up till around 5 o'clock. If you choose the Nuneaton option it is only 2 minutes walk to ASDA. The fare is only £3.50 return if you are lucky enough to be under the bus pass age.
Nuneaton itself remains much the same, if there was an award for the most depressing, rubbish strewn stretch of canal in the country, Nuneaton remains my number one! Leamington Spa was not much better, but, in all fairness, I have not been to Leamington for a while, it may have improved, however, Nuneaton has not improved and in the rain today it was even worse.
What always amazes me though is, that, as soon as you turn off of the Coventry on to the Ashby at Marston Junction, you are immediately transported into a rural landscape that is little troubled by built up areas.
We will be up here for a few days before we return to reality.
