We returned early May from an excelent trip around the Leicester Ring, despite hail, snow and high winds, our only down point was Burton, 30 minute walk into town, no help from locals (none English speakers), unless we wanted Indian or fast food a perplexed barman told us we might be lucky to get a meal at Weatherspoons despite how late we were, 7.45 Saturday night !!!
We found the place, had an ok meal, then started treck home, the shopping precinct was full of guys in shop doorways urinating, we got back to boat, but at midnight was awoken by idiots throwing stones at boat, so up and chase but they fled, then we had joy of storm blowing in but cannot blame mother nature.
Avoid Burton by all costs for overnight, we decided after that to only stay in villages where you hope to be safer.
