Bishops Meadow

Not a lot to say today.  We are trying to keep the cruise more relaxed, perhaps not more than 6 hours in a day.  It is generally recognised that one does not stop in Leicester for the night as the locals have the reputation of not being friendly.  Perhaps that is a historical thing but it is true that there is only a small secure BW mooring for two boats in the centre, so that must mean something.  So our last mooring before is usually Birstall and then one does the section to Kilby Bridge in one day.   It is a shame that Leicester loses out.   So we are trying to portion the stops out boefore Birstall.   Loughborough would have been a suitable place if it were in any way dog friendly, but again, memories of the pontoon mooring were not good so we are here at Bishops Meadow.  Plenty of nice grassy towpath mooring above the lock.
