Now that we have sailed from the centre of Leicester we passed through the most built up part, and in places it did look very urban! The locks were generally in poor condition with many of the paddles being broken. Still, overall the sailing was uneventful. I was really surprised at how quickly the canal started going through very rural looking parks, with lovely verdant rural surrounds. Our destination was Leicester marina where we plan to moor up for a few days and then taxi back to Leicester and go to the space center and do some shopping.
I have done away with the menu!. Each page will now have a list of all the other pages which allows you to navigate around far more easily and saves me the hassle of updating the menu each time I add a new page! I will keep adding posts with links to the latest pages in any case, so it is easy to follow our progress still.
