Canals 1992 - Leicester & 4 Co

The first of what has become an annual 2-week cruise each October saw us hiring "Oak" from Middlewich for a figure-8 tour via the T&M to Fradley Jn, then via Fazeley & Braunston before turning north along the Leicester Arm of the GU. After doing the Erewash Canal, we returned via Gt Haywood and the Shropshire Union.
