Atherstone or Polesworth

We should have reached Atherstone before the end of the day, possibly will have gone through the flight of locks, which always seem (to me) to be the slowest flight that we pass through! they take ages to fill and empty...and there are always lots of boats around meaning that 3 hours to do the 11 locks is a good time - often takes much longer! This means that we could have reached Polesworth where there are quite a few pubs (again if they haven't closed down!!).

We will hopefully be able to find a suitable place to watch the Champions League Final. Whilst I'd like Manchester United to win, if it's a great game and it ends up 5 - 4, then it won't bother me if Barcelona win by that scoreline!
