Leaving Loughborough
and on to Bishop Meadow Lock, both manned by volunteers. We did make them coffee while we were waiting to fill with water from the slowest tap on the system!!!
Normanton on Soar
There is a flood mooring scheme in operation for those heading north.
Glad we didn't have to use it!!!
Loads of room to pass.
The weir veers off to the left and we head towards Kegworth Deep Lock
We moor for the night on some lovely looking moorings opposite the weir.
View from the side hatch.....
and a few too many of these = disturbed night!!!
