Market Harborough to Smeeton Westerby

Went down into Market Harborough to the supermarket. Coffee in baker's tea-shop / restaurant, back up the hill by bus. Mgt got two pairs of gloves from Peacocks.

Set out after mid-day, with the weather still a bit drizzly but better than what it had been. Easy run through to Foxton, and the first swing bridge was much easier than on the way down. Stopped on the visitor moorings at Foxton for lunch, but then moved on to be nearer the marina for the morning. Stopped on some Armco in a nicely isolated spot.

6.6 miles, 0 locks, 2 swing bridges, 3 engine hours
