Kegworth – Crick

A few photos to remember our two week cruise to Crick, diverting to Market Harborough and the Welford Arm. Although we have previously cruised to Market Harborough, the Foxton flight and beyond were new waters for us. The weather was perfect and we had a very enjoyable holiday shared with friends.
