A narrowboat cruise through the city of Leicester, what’s there to worry about? Well plenty if you listen to the rumours but is Leicester’s reputation justified? Andrew and Val cruise the Grand Union Leicester Line and The Soar Navigation to find out. Are there any safe moorings? And what’s the city’s association with the South pole?

I must say that I think ethnic and cultural diversity enhance our towns, cities and villages, and as such any racist remarks or inferences will not be tolerated on my channel, and will be removed and possibly reported. Please let's respect all people from all backgrounds. Thank you.

Love the travels of you two together. No longer think of it as a channel of an elderly guy trying to escape depression. Now it is two soulmates floating down the river, raising our spirits, and informing us of what we may encounter.

Thank you for the upload. You can see, quite clearly, why some are fearful of travelling through Leicester let alone moor up.

The old part of Leicester city is amazing - you missed out! (Dot)

@user-il3nn1vl4w

I am not sure if you got the trip out of sync, there is a lock, sluice gate and weir at Abbey Meadow pumping station very near the space centre. The river and the canal meet at this point.

When we were passing through Leicester there was some sort of regatta going on, and we had to negotiate with the stewards to weave our way through the rowing boats.

Another great video Andrew , I might be asking Val to make a matching set of ponchos for myself and two rescue doggies later on , hope you are both keeping well

Gave me a good reason to put off work for awhile yesterday. That was good as I think i over did it a great to leave a city.on my back. I feel the same way about cities. Always great to leave a city. still snow here but going fast. Summer birds are arriving. Good luck with your enterprises. Going to a Contra Dance tonight and I get to dance instead of making the music.

How can you complain about traffic noise when you are using a diesel engined boat sounds a bit hypocritical

Growing up in Leicester in the 60's next door had working narrow boats so spent some nice times on them around the area. Seymoore Roseblade was the name of the company.

Why close the locks for Diwali?

You should live here, it's wonderful 🤔

Leicester has always been a happy NB experience for me and I moored on the Soar for a couple of years. Very safe and convenient moorings for me to explore the city😁
