On today through a post industrial landscape still showing some of the signs of an intensely mined and quarried history. One thing that stood out were the bluebells in the clumps of trees in the parkland above Atherstone - normally you have to be in the woods to see them. We crossed with much of the Lichfield cruising club in the locks, seven boats being out together. While the sun didn't make a showing, still a good day's cruising for the time of year. Finished the day at a favourite mooring just west of Polesworth, where what was an industrial site is now a glorious huge area of woodland.
