Hinckley to Shackerstone
Before setting off I adjusted the stern gland to try to reduce the water ingress. Also put the 2 gallons of waste oil into the diesel tanks.
Set off at 845 and stopped at Market Bosworth for lunch. Walked into town to the Red Lion where they had a beer festival on so all 10 handpumps were in use.
After lunch we carried on to the end of navigation where there is a short section on newly restored canal in water but blocked off with a temporary bridge. Winded there and headed back to Shackerstone.
Only the one pub here, the Rising Sun, and although it is in the Good Beer Guide, most of the beer was disappointing. The restaurant was quite good and we had 2 courses for a change.
