Left Cambridge, now at Clayhithe

Densie moored at Jesus Lock, Cambridge
We had an enjoyable 2 days in Cambridge and have restocked with groceries as we will be out in the wilds for a few days.  We left our moorings after a leisurely start to the day at 11:40 and went across the river to fill up with water and to take advantage of the cheap pump-out facilities.  On the move again at 12:30 we were now travelling with the flow of the river and a tail wind we were able to make a reasonable fast speed of 4mph despite the need to avoid the fair number of rowers on the water.  We arrived at the public moorings at Clayhithe, a journey of 5.3 miles and 1 lock, around 2:30.  Just in time as it turned out as within minutes there was a downpour.
