The Ashby Canal once you get past Stoke Golding is really lovely and remote-its a real pleasure to cruise although a little shallow in places.We managed to get out for 2 weeks of very mixed weather, we only cruised in the rain three times,and on a few occasions we had warm sunshine.

A nice group of canal cottages as we approached Snarestone |

Our mooring at Conglestone a really lovely spot with the sound of steam trains on the Battlefield Line |

A mobile chicken run which I assume provides fresh eggs. |

An interesting structure which I think is made from willow,its at the entrance to the old goods yard,now an industrial estate, at Stoke Golding. |

These two male Mallard ducks were fighting next to the boat for about 20 minutes. |

This female mallard duck has decided to nest in a plant tray on the roof of the boat moored near ours at Wigrams |
