take the tow path of the trent and mersey canal until you reach derwent mouth, then continue straight on following the river trent until you reach the river soar, follow this and take the grand union canal through leicester. leave this cycle route here and follow signs for kettering.
If you can get to Bingley along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal ill give you a lift as my house over looks the 5 rise locks in Bingley! So get on yer bike now!
Seriously peeps - if someone is going from his neck of the woods, a lift for him would be appreciated (ill even pay fuel money towards getting him there)
