Only 18 miles but 24 locks and 1 800 yard tunnel, but 4 overnight stops to break it up. Still heading South but once through Blue Bank Lock the route swings South East towards Foxton Locks and Junction but we go straight on to Market Harbourough where we overnight at the end of the canal in the Basin and get some retail therapy.
Returning to Foxton Locks, but before we turn up the Staircase of locks we re-trace for 1 mile to Debdale Marina for diesel and a pump-out, and meet up with boating friends Jan and Graham.
On our way we have a favourite country mooring, just happens to be by a seemingly innocuous post, but carved into the corner of it is the image above.
