Our journey continues with the push to get through Leicester before any bad weather hampers our progress....
Lovely moorings on the 'cut' at Zouch
We set off the following morning with the intention to get to Sileby Mill by the end of the day.
Beautiful church at Normanton-on-Soar
The river was serene and we were soon passing up through the locks to Loughborough cut.
The new elum made the 90 degree bend at Loughborough a piece of cake!
Gardens down to the river at Barrow
The impressive railway bridge at Mountsorrel
We moored for the night at Sileby and arranged a visit from my mum, as she now lives not far from the river.
Oh dear, won't be going anywhere for a while!
We got up early to set off at 6am in order to get through Leicester, but thick fog stopped us in our tracks. Time for breakfast and wait it out for now.....
