Rumours of Wars

The day started with us realising that we were seriously short of milk and that none of the places we were planning to go through today had a shop. So I ran up to Market Bosworth to get some. We then spent the morning at Bosworth Field Heritage Centre (http://www.bosworthbattlefield.com/) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there.

After lunch we left the Battlefield mooring and continued to the head of navigation, getting there about 4.00pm. Work is in progress to extend the canal from Snarestone to Measham and Ashby Canal Trust now owns aall the necessary land to complete this; they just do not have the money!

We winded and went back to a mooring at Shackerstone for the night.
