Day 12 - Market Bosworth to Shackerstone via Shenstone

Saturday 20th September - 10 miles

Another slow start due to dull morning. Filled up with water. Cruised to the end of the navigable Ashby canal just above Shenstone where we had lunch and read for a while. Cruised back to moor at Shackerstone passing the fishermen who were in a competition. They were very complimentary about Paul's driving, slow and central past them, they had obviously had a bad experience earlier.

Went to the Rising Sun for a drink before dinner. A lovely friendly local, the barman gave us a slice of lemon cake that he had baked.

Back for dinner where the swans entertained us by knocking on the windows for food. They actually followed our hands around - it was hilarious.
