Horses near Mountsorrel |
Another very hot day! Cruised from Mountsorrel to Loughborough not that impressed with moorings and too hot to wander around the town so decided to cruise on to Zouch or Kegworth.

The lovely River Soar |

Normanton on Soar |

Interesting houses at Normanton on Soar |
Finally moored above Kegworth deep lock, lovely rural mooring only downside was it was on the flight path to East Midlands airport which was very close too, we can read the logos on the planes.
Wandered down to Kegworth shallow lock - a flood lock that is open in the summer months. Called into the Anchor a proper local where we watched some of England v Pakistan ODI which England won by Duckworth Lewis as it rained.
