Sutton Stop  to  Hawkesbury Pump House (Via Foleshill Winding Hole Coventry Canal.)

Overnight the weather was short rain showers by morning the mist had arrived.

Afternoon: We reversed the boat at Foleshill Winding Hole then moored up before I went to purchase a safety helmet for the bike from Lidl.Then we move back to New Inn Bridge 8 to visit Tesco.

Evening: An evening watching television.
