Anybody going Hillmorton to North Stratford canal?

[berwick1960]

I need to get a 12ft aluminium boat pole from the Canal Shop at Hillmorton to my boat (on the North Stratford between Lyons and Brandwood Tunnel). I haven't got the time to cruise there and back and am a cyclist so no way of getting it here on land. If anyone is cruising between HillMorton and here then I'd be really grateful if you could take the pole for me - does £20 sound fair for your trouble?

I am heading from Braunston, N Oxford, Coventry Canal, to Fazeley before heading to Fradley if thats any help

What - no boats on the busiest part of the inland waterways system?

Hillmorton to Braunston (good lunches at the Hungry Horse pub beside Hillmorton Wharf Marina, and have a browse round the shop at the same time...)

Braunston to Napton to Kingswood/Lapworth.

Then turn right for Kings Heath.

As re- the "I done 77 locks before breakfast" thread, let's see who can get this pole the fastest to Allouette, eh?

They were already closed when we passed. But it would still have ended up wrong side of Birmingham
