Date - 24 /03/08 Day - Monday Start - 10 am terminus End - 1915 hrs This morning was much less windy but a little chilly, we set off at 10am and moored up a couple of hours later at the visitor moorings at Market Bosworth. There is a notice pinned to the BW posts saying that WiFi broadband is available on these moorings for £5 per day by ringing a telephone number. I switched the computer on and hit 3 connections but with a very weak signal. We spent the afternoon at Market Bosworth visiting a friend of Diana's. It's about three quarters of a mile to the town from the canal and while we were there the sun shone warmly, good boating weather! We returned to the boat at 5 pm and after feeding the dog set off in a pleasant early evening, as we pushed on the skys cleared and wind died away. We were going to moor at Sutton Wharf visitor moorings but found them closed and covered in keep off tape. These moorings are on the off side and consist of about 250 feet of staging, unfortunately they didn't use real wood when they built it but imitation plastic wood which in quite a short time has become unsafe. We carried on past the long term off side moorings and moored just beyond the end of them, but as a cruiser on the long term mooring was running his outboard as a generator, I remember it was also running when we came up the canal, we have moved to just before bridge 33 about another 100 m along the cut. We moored in the dark at quarter past seven and found we had missed the Archers!!!! -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
