A slight relocate in Barrow upon Soar

by Keith February 17, 2019 No Comments

Moving from the 48 hour mooring today..   did plan to make a day of moving..  but we got to the lock, found some winter moorings that are not in use (as the CRT site is stating that its 100% vacant)..   and as we need to go to the Co-Op – pulled in and moored up..

Got back from the shop, figured as it was a winter mooring, its as good a spot as ever.. so said sod it.. were staying a while.

Were still above the lock, and the right side of the large weir.. so we should be OK if the weather turns and the levels change..

The boats set, there’s a shop, a post office and a pub or two..  so we could be here a while..

And, later on that evening..  this sleepy fellow floated past..
