About turn for Atherstone

Due to low water levels and #crt closing locks on the Leicester Line of the GU we have to change plans and turn around and take the alternative route . However it is then announced that the #ATHERSTONE flight of locks will close in 4 days time , so now the urgency is real, we need to be up those locks by Monday! On the way we encounter internet celeb Lumpy from #NarrowboatNatterings . 23 miles , 18 locks and low water levels …..join us in this first part of the challenge!
