Snarestone Wharf

It was a bit warmer this morning but it actually felt cooler than yesterday. The day started quite pleasant with light winds and looking bright, however it didn’t last and we had a very heavy , squally shower. The canal is weiring well today and the towpath is only just above water in Market Bosworth.DSCF1403

As we came into Market Bosworth opposite the new housing estate this memorial has appeared since we were last this way. I couldn’t seethe details as we passed but I expect someone will tell me soon.DSCF1402

I had planned to reverse to the end of the restored section of the Ashby canal, but as I started to wind the wind picked up to 35 KPH and I had problems getting the bows round so decided it would be better not to try backing down between boats moored on ether side of the canal, so we moored up and visited Mike in the Ashby Canal Association shop.
