Kingswood to Cape of Good Hope (Warwick)

Kingswood mooring
 Left our nice mooring at Kingswod junction where we have been for two days at 0845 this morning ready to tackle the Hatton flight of 21 heavy double locks.
On Hatton locks
 We took our time and allowed a couple of working boats to overtake us on the flight. (Below)

 Travelled part of way with a couple who had lived on their boat for last 12 years. He was 72 and was pleased to tell me that as a youth he lived in Sparkbrook and cycled to Stewpony Lido, near Stourbridge, most summer weekends for a dip in the pool.
This is the last lock after four hour slog. Moored up at the Cape of Good Hope Warwick. A useful watering hole after a hard days boating. Joanne did well!
