Arrived at Foxton to find 3 boats on their way down so we had to wait about 1/2 hour. Then we were the first of two boats going up with one coming down, which we passed at the half way point.
Moored at the top of the flight near Gumley bridge, and walked to the Bell Inn in Gumley. We had an excellent 2 course lunch, the best meal so far. By the time we had finished that it was raining, which continued for a few hours.
Carried on in the rain south through Husbands Bosworth tunnel and then turned off onto the Welford Arm to Welford where we moored for the night in a mobile phone blackspot.
Went to the Wharf Inn to eat then into the village. The Shoulder of Mutton is no longer a pub, but the bar of the Elizabethan restaurant was open, so we went in there. Then we went back the Wharf Inn.
