We were away at 10 this morning just after another boat we have been playing tag with went by. They were travelling at a comfortable speed so we followed them at a distance all the way to Husbands Bosworth Tunnel where they pulled away from us. At the tunnel entrance there is an old British Waterways notice, I am surprised CRT have not removed it. There is actually one at each end, but only the one is in British Waterways blue.

After the tunnel we continued to North Kilworth Marina where we filled with diesel at a reasonable price. I must say its a nicely laid out marina with a
very smart service area. When we turned in we weren’t sure we were going the right way, as you cant see the service block from the canal entrance.
Until now we had only met one boat, but as we left the marina and turned right we met 3 in a short space of time. At Welford Junction we turned right following the main line, it was now quite cool so I went below to put a fleece on, looking out of the porthole brought home how close the canal is to topping the towpath along this section.
We carried on for another ¾ hour to moor for the night just south of the Downtown viewing point.
