As we made our way back down the Ashby towards Marston Junction we passed by Burton Hastings and through the cutting which bounds a static caravan park. The caravans that are at the top of the cutting have some interesting back gardens that tumble down the cutting to the canal side. Before reaching Marston Junction we decide to moor up for lunch. Here Anthea has an incident slipping on a rubber fender as she made her way along the gunwale towards the bow. Fortunately she did not finish up in the canal but did bruise her shins quite badly.
At Marston Junction we join the Coventry Canal and turn towards Hawkesbury Junction passing Charity Dock and the display of manikins.
This video is un-edited and was taken whilst at the tiller of Digitalis whilst passing by Charity Wharf. The background sound is that of the engine of Digitalis which is interrupted by the noise of a circular saw and then a conversation with the owner of the saw which you will note was not understood!
Hawkesbury Junction is busy as usual and we are helped by a local mum and her children who were on the way to Grandmas for tea.

Mooring up for the night was always going to be close to the M6 but we did manage to find a spot close to Tusses Bridge on the Oxford Canal, that put a high hedge and trees between us and he road reducing the noise considerably.
