Wednesday was a fine and dry day with a few hints of sunshine. We set of from Wilmcote happily before the Hotel Boats set off. Have been stuck behind hotel boats before and they are painfully slow with 2 boats to lock through, one unpowered and can add hours to a journey.
It was pretty busy on the Preston Bagot locks with boats coming down.

At Kingswood Junction we took a right and moored for the night on the Grand Union.

Not a bad day for a return journey which can sometimes be a drag. The promised rain did not materialise and it was relatively warm.
