Market Bosworth

It was a bit blowy over night with lots of rattling on the roof, but everything was still where it was left when I looked out this morning. I don’t know how much rain we had but the levels are even better today.DSCF0041

The wind died down quite quickly and the weather was really quite pleasant when we set off from these rather unusual moorings.DSCF0040

To say the weather was changeable would be an understatement, after about half an hour the wind picked up and with it the driving rain, thankfully it was coming from behind me and not full in the face. I considered mooring at Sutton Wharf but by then the rain had stopped and not a breath of wind, all gone, so we carried on. We didn’t see any boats on the move but one was just mooring by Deakins Bridge, so we only just missed meeting one.
The housing estate as we approached Market Bosworth is still under construction and creeping along towards bridge Jackson’s Bridge with what looks like a peace of amenity land right by the bridge.
Thankfully there was only one boat moored before the water point at Market Bosworth so there was room for us as well.
