| Making our way through the jungle The waterway that followed was twisty, narrow, weedy with overhanging trees for most of the rest of the journey' though we enjoyed experience. A one stage it looked like a scene from African Queen. At the 4th lock, King's Lock near Aylestone, we left the river for the last time and moored for the day at 14:25 just before Blue Bank Lock in Glen Parva. 2 hours 40 mins, 4 locks, 3.77 inches |
