From Newton Top Lock we moved on to Foxton for the night. Not to go up but to move on to Market Harborough Basin. We ate burger and chips at the Foxton Lock Inn and it was ok.
Next day a short trip up to the Basin in Market Harborough. We ate at The Riverside in the basin and we were not very impressed. Next morning we walked into the town centre. It was Sunday so most shops were closed however we managed to find a Co-Op and get a few bits. Had a nice coffee in the town the moved Tilly May back to Foxton ready to go up in the morning. We booked in to go up Foxton Locks about 9:30 and were at the top in about an hour. Then on to the welford arm and we moored at the Wharf and had a very nice steak pie in the Wharf Inn. Yet more bad news, the macerator pump on the toilet stopped working. Fortunately Welford Wharf has toilets so we are here for a couple of days while we wait for an engineer to come and sort it. On the way down the Welford arm we spotted a tow pain taking a glider up. This remind me that an old friend Mark, operates a glider around here so I dropped him an email and we met for a meal at The Wharf Inn in Tuesday. The plan was for Mark to take us into Market Harborough for a Mexican but the engineer said he could not get to us until early evening Wednesday so we had to cancel the meal with Mark.
