We cruise cruise around the East Midlands (Leicester) Ring clockwise from Norton Junction.
First the tunnel and broad locks at Braunston, then onto the narrow Oxford Canal to Hawkesbury Junction. The Coventry Canal will take us to Fazeley Junction and, with a little help from the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal, on to Fradley Junction. The Trent & Mersey Canal lowers us to Trent Junction.
The River Soar and the Leicester Section of the Grand Union Canal raise us past Loughborough and Leicester to reach Market Harborough.
The fantastic staircase locks at Foxton and Watford return us to Norton Junction.
