Cruisng on the Nene

Last night we had another excellent meal and beer at the King's Head Wadenhoe.  Another long day  cruising today in hot sunny and less windy weather.  A cruise of 6:15 hours covering 12 miles and 7 locks 3 of which were manually operated.  Nothing much to report, just lovely scenery.

We are now moored at the former Rushton & Diamonds football ground where there are good moorngs.  I say formet because they went bust a few year ago and the facilities here are in a very sad state.  A practice ground is now a barren patch of weeds and an impressive stadium is empty.  Apparently it is all due to be demolished and replaced by housing and a restaurant area.
