I had problems trying to post entries to the blog after Hillmorton so have had to post a few now we have got back home. Don't know what the problem was but it seems ok now.We had after we left Hillmorton a really long day for us- it was 9 hours and we covered 22.5miles and 1 lock- to Hinckley Bridge 16 on the Ashby canal where we met Pip and Richard.The weather has been very changeable- heavy showers,sunshine,cold winds and the odd sleet shower.- ah proper spring weather at last. The water levels from rain run off are going up -but probably only in the short term.

| If only more tunnels on the canal system had lights like Newbold Tunnel |

| It was a cold damp morning and this donkey seemed to sum it up well- I do hate mornings!!!! |

| The end of the Ashby just north of Snarestone.It finishes just past the swing bridge although they are very well advanced on restoring the next section |
