Sutton Bonington, West Leake, Kingston and the River Soar, 9th August 2020

Rab led this 8-mile pop-up walk with ten Ramblers starting in Sutton Bonington.  It took us first to West Leake for coffee then followed Kingston Brook downstream to Kingston on Soar for lunch, returning along the River Soar and the Grand Union Canal.

Leaving Kegworth New Lock on the Grand Union Canal.  This lock used to called Kegworth Deep Lock on account of its 12 foot rise but after several narrowboats sank after getting caught on the cill at the upstream end, it was renamed Kegworth New Lock so as not to scare off new users
