Thursday 4th June<\/p>\n
Today we spent mostly shopping and walking. After breakfast we went to Sainsbury’s, firstly for a beer stock up session. As the supermarket is so close to the moorings it is an ideal opportunity to get all the heavy and cumbersome stuff in.<\/p>\n
We loaded the trolley with 4 cases of lager and cider and a newspaper! The lady on the checkout said ‘Oh, party time’. We didn’t say it would only last about a week (not really).<\/p>\n
After stowing the beer back at the boat we went for a ‘proper shop’. You know, food and things. The dinette, fridge and all the cupboards are now stuffed. We will have to find a bit of room for a return visit on the way back as it is so convenient though.<\/p>\n
After doing the shopping we went for a walk to find the Enterprise car hire depot. We found this surprisingly easily, even with our obvious directional failings. After enquiring about hiring a car from them for an up coming trip home and deciding they were lacking in value and customer service skills we left without booking anything.<\/p>\n
We then decided to walk down the canal to Trent Bridge for a recce mission as we are going there tomorrow. This is about a 30 min walk which can also be done along the road which runs alongside the canal for part of the way.<\/p>\n
When we got to Trent Bridge we had to go to the Trent Bridge (Wetherspooons) to recover, obviously. Actually I really did because unfortunately I was suffering from ‘first wearing of last year’s summer shoes’ syndrome and needed to do remedial work on my blisters before I could walk back!<\/p>\n
We walked back some time later and accidentally fell into the Company Inn on the way past for a ‘Harry Lasters’ and another blister review.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow we are going to Trent Bridge.<\/p>\n
