Beyond Leicester

 Today we travelled through the outer suburbs of Leicester to reach the edge of the conurbation at Kilby Bridge on a canal which forms an arm of the Birmingham/London GrandUnion.

On the move between \blue Bank Lock and Gees Lock in Glen Parva

Densie and Days Like This sharing Gees Lock

Community Garden at Whetstone Lane Lock, Glen Parva

We set off at 10am, still cruising and sharing locks with Days Like This.   Sadly the scenery was of limited interest with a mixture of dense vegetation and suburban housing.  The canal was shallow and weedy in places and some of the 8 wide locks difficult to operate.  We arrived at Kilby Bridge at 2pm where we moored for the night.

3 hours 50 minutes, 8 Locks, 4.48 miles
