Kings Bromley Marina

This marina is part of the Aquavista group to which my own marina belongs. At the moment they have a scheme called Explore34, whereby I am allowed to spend up to 34 days a year in another Aquavista marina, free of charge.

So, after leaving Hopwas, I had a bit of distance to cover, lots of it rather pretty, like this tree lined avenue with the stone facing of the towpath. This went on for quite some distance.

The prettiness just kept giving…

Not far ahead is Fradley Junction, which is where the Coventry Canal, which I am currently on, joins the Trent & Mersey Canal. I turned left here and went up two locks. The most unfortunate thing is, I failed to take any photos of this rather important section.

After a short distance, I caught site of of some HS2 works gouging across the face of the countryside. According to the map. this will eventually be a bridge over the canal.

A short distance later, I turned into Kings Bromley Marina.

After meeting with the staff in the office, I was shown to my berth for the duration of my stay.

This was going to give me some time to recharge my batteries as I was feeling quite fatigued. It also gave me time to check the boat over after recent inverter upgrade. I never left the boat once while I was there and spent most of my time resting.
