Turning off the Grand Union Main Line at Norton Junction and onto the Grand Union's Leicester Arm, visiting Welford, Market Harborough, Leicester and Loughborough.

Foxton locks - a staircase of 10, with just room to pass one boat in the middle.
|
|
Tracy examining an old Ice Boat - used to break the ice on the canals in the old days.

Trying to ignore the gongoozlers at Foxton Locks.

The very picturesque Market Harborough Arm.
|

It's sunny - the skipper's happy!

A nice sunset with unusual clouds.

An old church.

We're now joining the River Soar in places - hence large weirs like this on the way into Leicester.
|
|
Moored up by Castle Gardens, in the heart of Leicester.

The National Space Centre, Leicester.

Going slightly sideways to counter the wind, on a pretty stretch of the River Soar. (The wind's quite strong - we were blown aground soon after this picture!)
