Essential moving in Lockdown

We were up early and sorted out Derwent6 for moving, we were very low on diesel and water and also didn't have any food left on board.. 

It was very quiet with boats and the canal was a bit silted up with leaves and the lack of traffic, but it is very pretty. We pushed on through All Oaks Woods cutting a path in the water..

We had to do plenty of dropping in to neutral to knock the leaves off the prop blades.. .  The weather was very cloudy but we didn't get any rain.

It was then under the bridges to Newbold tunnel.

We then approached Rugby where we could do our shopping and stopped of at Roo's to fill with diesel and top up the spare can..

We had a look first and then managed to moor up right by the alleyway so we could get the trolley right back to Derwent6..

It took Al a couple of hours and she said it seemed very unorganised with people not abiding by the rules of distancing.. She called Del when the trolley was full and we managed to get it up the slight hill back to the boat.. From there it was over to the water point and also emptied the waste tank..

We then carried on towards Hillmorton passing Clifton Cruisers..

We then passed under the new Holton bridge and the new road.

We took the turn at the bottom of the locks, and in this photo it was all going well until the wind took us and pushed us into the bank..

After a bit of manoeuvring we got round and moored up on one of our favourite moorings.. It was just starting to get dark and we felt it was a job well done today...
