At the end of the long day with horses, we ended up at Kilby Bridge, south Leicester. Oddly enough, it was very remote. Reg had gone back to Rugby, taken back the morning when we left Welford. We realised at Kilby Bridge just how much we needed a car! The nearest small shop was a half and hour away, the nearest buses run infrequently and only on weekdays and we ended up taking a taxi to Leicester centre. We resolved to collect Reg again at the next opportunity. Elizabeth is a slight nerd with regards to train stations and just happened to own a Rail Atlas. This, next to the map of Inland Waterways, showed us that there are enough stations well placed around the Leicester Ring to be able to car hop again.
We stopped at Kilby Bridge a few days, moored up opposite a BW yard. Not good communications again... Pete took a train to Sheffield from Leicester station, Elizabeth and Levi did laundry as she tried to work and we both tried not to be frustrated by lack of communications. The weather remained dreary, hence Levi pictured under his brollies.
