Central Leicester to Sileby Mill on the River Soar

We leave the town centre and pass through areas of industrial decay and redevelopment, heading North on the River Soar. The two town centtre locks North of the moorings have broken paddle gear. We meet a huge group of children on various canoes and kayaks coming through the lock by the Natiional Space Centre, some of whom are desparate to get on YouTube, so I oblige, well we are in public and they are not identifiable by name, so where's the harm? Further north, the navigation becomes much more river like, with a steady current and lots of meanders. We meet some magnet fishers who have just removed an 80 Kilo safe from the lock layby, and some canoeists who demonstrate their skills doing rollovers and capsize rescue. Finally on to Sileby Mill, where we have a look around the lock and the weir.

Please have a look at my other videos of cruising the cut.
