Spent a very genteel four hours cruising along the River Soar to Kegworth, which has been a very pleasant surprise although very flat. The above pic is Normanton-on-Soar Church and we really felt as if we were on a slightly smaller Thames .............................
Houses coming down to the River
........... this gives a good idea of the flatness and how easily it floods.........
....................... more lilypads and a rather fine house but no frogs yet!!
.......... even the planes going into East Midlands Airport are like the Thames!!! Not so numerous though
Had a walk after we moored and this is a spectacular power station we shall be passing tomorrow on the way to Sawley Marina and Shardlow ..................................
this pic of a small marina around the corner from where we are shows how high the water can get. Even the club house is on stilts.
