Robin walked Scooby in the water meadows by Zouch lock before we set off and met a small herd of Roe deer. We also saw this heron shortly after we set off - he sat and waited until we were almost level with him before he flew away over our heads.
At the third lock we met narrow boat Eleanor and shared the rest of our journey today (and the locks) with her crew, a friendly couple who have been happily living and travelling on their boat for several years. Encouraging for us beginners.
Altogether we gravelled 17miles and went through 13 locks today; all achieved in 10 hours.
It was all too much for Scooby, who crashed out on the bed in the afternoon!
Tomorrow we head out of the Leicester suburbs and towards the Saddington tunnel and the Foxton lock flight.
