A pleasant and easy day's cruising with no rain and no locks.

The canal follows a meandering course between low hills on its way north towards Leicester.We set off at 9:50 in cool but bright weather and, after a quick stop to fill up with water,carried on along down the canal stopping for lunch at 12:30. An hour later we set off again finally mooring for the night at 15:00 near Welford Junction where a short arm goes off to the village of Welford 1.5 miles away.
Little else to report since the canal is completely isolated avoiding all habitation apart from a few farms. Almost all the bridges are for farm tracks and very minor country lanes, the only one exception being the very busy A14.
Journey Statistics
8.59 miles, hours 55 minutes cruising.
