I’ve decided to do the Warwickshire ring with a side trip down to the Coventry basin. I understand the Warwickshire ring can be done in a week ~ but we are a party of three all over 60 yrs old and are not looking to push it. this group has been awesome with you knowledge and experience. lastly can I ask about possibly seeing some live music in the pubs on our route and I personally like to see some morris dancers, any suggestions?

….Thank you to everyone in this group for your help. I did a one week out and back last year and wanted to do a ring this time around. I guess Liecester ring s off the table this time. So we will do the Warwick shire ring this time. Maybe have enough time to go down to Coventry.

I’m considering the Warwick shire ring but there seems to be a problem with the curdworth locks (another closure? Is that old news I was seeing about curdworth locks? CRT website is ….

We are hiring from Napton narrowboats, near Napton marina. Picking up the boat on 14 September thru September 28. If his lock is out of service I don’t see a way to complete this ring.

I have reserved a hire boat for 2 weeks in September. We were planning to do the liecester ring, but I am now seeing a notice that work s being done on lock 58 ratcliffe lock. Is this a closure or it it just work n the towpath? Do I need to consider a different route? Thank you for your help.

Wow great feedback, Thank you. Another question what about laundry facilities encountered?

Can the Warwickshire ring be done in a leisurely week?

I really like historic things and gardens the girls are into antiques and general thrift store shopping.

Just booked the boat for a week this June out of Napton. There will be four of us two couples average of 60 all first time boaters.I had planned to cruise the union thru Braunston. Thru the Braunston tunnel and the bills worth tunnel. Was thinking of making cosgrove our turn around point. First is this too ambitious and will traffic be an issue. Secondly looking for things to do close to close to the canal. I am open to looking at alternate routes but the starting point is still going to be Napton. Thank you all in advance. So looking forward to this adventure.
