GU Leicester Line Open Again!!

Just packing stuff onto the boat ready for the off tomorrow and my phone went beep and this e-mail arrived.

"Grand Union Leicester Line Kibworth Top Lock 18 - Kings Lock 38

Monday 2 April 2012 until further notice

UPDATE (09 May 2012): Due to improved reservoir holdings we are lifting the closure currently in place on this section of the Grand Union Leicester Line.

From Friday 11th May 2012 this section will be open daily between 9.00am - 4.00pm until further notice.

Locks 18,30 & 38 will be padlocked to ensure there are no abuses/unnecessary water losses.

We will continue to monitor the reservoir situation closely and if we get further improvements we may lift the overnight locking altogether."

Was going towards Fradley but plans might change at the last minute.
