Coventry Canal Basin

A bright and sunny November day and time for a walk down to the Coventry canal basin to grab the new geocache that has been placed there.  The basin looked good in the sunshine.  Found the cache without too much of a problem, signed the log book and replaced it for the next visitor. At the head of the basin is a statue of canal engineer James Brindley leaning over his desk.  I made a Waymark of this statue a few years ago and listed a bit of the history behind Brindley and the statue itself.


I then had a pot of tea and teacake at Country Crust Tea Rooms for a bargain £1.50 and good service.  Well worth a visit.
