We have heard all kinds of things about Leicester. From being likely to get Killed, sold into slavery, sexually interfered with, having stones thrown at you and that the people are generally horrible all the way to it being a lovely place to visit and the sailing is great! So, apart from the sexual interference (which is my preference) it sounded dire and it also sounded great! What to do? Well, we decided to take a look for ourselves and see what all the fuss is about. So from Foxton we needed to stop at Fleckney where there is a shop to replenish our supplies and on the way we can pump out too, then on to Kilby Bridge which is the last place we can moor before heading into Leicester, then we plan to get to a safe mooring and stop. Ideally we’d get to the center and have a look around for a few days but we will have to see.
