Helmsman's View
Just an idea of the helmsman's view. We are approaching bridge 35. Now 14 years ago when I last ventured up this canal there were good moorings just passed the bridge for the Bosworth Battlefield. I knew that recent research had shown that the actual battle site was now thought to be a little distance away, but I thought we could still walk there from the moorings. Unfortunately that was not the case, the moorings having been left to nature to be overgrown [they are not on the towpath side] so we had to press on. We discovered on our way back down the canal that the best moorings for the Battlefield are now located by bridge 34 but there is a new inn situated there and mooring was all taken up by private boats that appeared to be there for some time.
