Burton Hastings to Snarestone

OK, the route has been changed....and only 3 men paddling.

We are navigating part the Ashby de la Zouch canal

1 Man down due to Easter emergency work commitments.
Change of route due to lack of money due to job loss.

Good 1st trip though, at least something happened so not a complete wash-out!
We also got the chance on slack water to try a few things out.

Click here for the proposed NEW ROUTE or as much of it as we can do.
