Stoke Golding/Dadlington

 



Ashby Canal view

Stoke Golding church overlooks our mooring

Getting boring, yet another very hot and sunny day and attractive scenery. After leaving our mooring we stopped at Hinckley to shop.  Unfortunately the nearest  shop , a small Coop, was more than half a mile walk from the nearest mooring. Never mind, we walked there, bought sufficient provisions to last a few days, walked back and set off again.

The photo shows a picture of another bridge.  A probem with taking canal pictures is that the bridges are the only things to photograph.  General views of attractive scenery just dont work

We stopped for the day at 13:00 between the villages of Stoke Golding and Dadlington rather earlier than the plans said but we will catch up tomorrow.

In the afternoon I walked into Dadlington but apart from the small 13th century church where some of the dead from the Battle of Bosworth (Richard 3rd, a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse etc) were buried there is little to see.  I will be saying more about the battle tomorrow.

2 hours 20 mins cruising, 6.31 miles
