A large part of life on the UK canals, is the sense of camaraderie among the boating community - and Kevin experiences this as he and Aslan continue along the River Soar, towards Loughborough and their overnight mooring, at Barrow-Upon-Soar. Whilst ascending locks, fellow boater's are more than happy to lend a hand and later, Kevin purchases fuel for Aslan, even though the vendor is closed.
