The weather didn’t quite hold out and we had a few showers to start our day, but brightened by the time we hit the locks going into Stratford on Avon. The last lock was tight with a boat moored just outside the lock and a boat waiting to enter the lock, we squeezed by and through the narrow bridge to bring us into Bancroft Basin. Luckily we found moorings and had a very enjoyable two days doing the tourist sights of Stratford on Avon. Found the chandlery very helpful, purchased a lockable diesel cap and got our license for the river Avon.

Hi
Hope you are both well!
Brings back some happy memories we did the Avon ring a couple of years ago! We moored in the basin as well but it was really windy when we tried to get on the pontoons, was good fun!
It's a bit tight in places anyway. We really enjoyed Stratford, was a little disappointed with Warwick town centre. Loving the River Avon, glad we decided to do it, would have been a shame to have missed it.
