To the end of the Ashby & back

On Friday 21st April we made our way to the end of the Ashby Canal and back. It all started as a wet, damp, windy morning but we were determined to explore as much of the navigable canal as we could.

A real highlight was passing through the Snarestone Tunnel – Our first canal tunnel in Oak!

Had a try at producing a short timelapse video. Going to experiment more in due course.

The proximity to canal wildlife can be amazing at times. We managed to film a heron up close.

Late afternoon we pulled into Bosworth Marina to end our first canal journey. It was really windy and once we were in the marina area the wind pushed our boat over to the far side of the marina. Didn’t manage to film that episode when we were rescued and pulled back on course by some kind fellow boaters.

All in all a fantastic first journey and we have updated our Master Canal Map accordingly…
