In the morning we walked to Shackerstone and the northerly end of the Battlefield Line. Here we found that the railway would be open at the weekend and that they are planning a heavy horse display on Saturday and Sunday at Market Bosworth. As we walked back to Digitalis for lunch we picked more blackberries.
After lunch we set off to the end of the Ashby Canal which is just beyond Snarestone. The canal used to go all the way to Moira but due over mining of coal the canal collapsed but there is a plan to restore the canal to its former glory. Where the Ashby Canal currently terminates we moor and see much evidence of the restoration programme. After a brief look around we cruise back to Snarestone where we moor for the night.
