The two faces of Leamington Spa

Two short hops today.  First one was to position ourselves at the bottom of the town so I could walk up and find a hairdresser.  The moorings are OK but the first part of the walk is through a grotty end of town where the streets were full of litter.   However I knew that I would eventually reach the better part.   The centre of the town has wide streets, many tree lined and lots of Georgian buildings....the litter did not seem so apparent either!
One impediment on the way...he did move and we managed to squeeze through
The second short trip took us out into our destination at Radford Semele, nicely out in the country. Only a couple of boats there so we had a good choice of places.

Total distance:2.23 miles 
Elapsed time:1h04m50s 
Locks:0
Bridges:12
Average speed:2.11 mph (2.11 lock/mph)
