We’ve only ever passed through here – not thought of stopping, so that was the plan today, if there is room as there’s only a short piece of mooring by the big pub The Waterside Inn (Everards). It was a delightful cruise with a chilly start but the sun was out and the river was wide & deep, allowing us to almost catch up with Raven! Warp factor 8, I think but no complaint from the engine or the stern gland, which was nice.
Short video – shot of the view from the stern – lovely cruising weather.
A few chaps enjoying the river Soar too
Very serene
And Viv drives too

And finally, Mountsorrel – some tamarisk, ceanothus and weigelia!
And the lunchtime pint!
The pub was geared up with a bouncy castle
Not quite sure of this, taken from another angle??
