Day 18, I think, Leicester!

We decided to stay a second night. Something we’ve not done for a while and also to give the solar panels a chance to prove their mettle in keeping the batteries alive. Had to wait for the sun to come round but at full sun it was putting over 20 amps out … nice. Also chance for Viv to visit the open market:

Saw his tomb in the cathedral but wasn’t too keen to pay the £7.65 to visit the Richard III experience … I can’t but helping thinking about the rhyming slang!

Saw this strange craft passing by … it’s a weed cutter.  It has a giant underwater cutter … could have done with this ahead of us on the Erewash Canal.

Bought some fresh seafood in the market to supplement the frozen ones . . another pauper’s supper:
