Well, its been a blast and the Grand Union has been really rather spectacular to sail. The Leicester branch is one of the most attractive canals we have witnessed, Weedon and Market Harbourgh were really lovely. Foxton and the locks really are worth a visit and are the jewel in the canal network crown, but all good things come to an end. Having sailed to Kegworth and moored just outside, the tima came to decide what to do until September 13th when we pop back to Swindon. So the choice really comes down to where we can leave the boat securely, and that turns out to be on the canal and not the river. So, west it is – as someone once said (and no, not the bloody petshop boys) go west!!
