| On the Great Ouse near St Ives |
We now ready to move on after our two nights in St Ives. We left our moorings around 10am after filling up with water and headed upstream. We have now left the fens and the surrounding countryside is easily visible from the water with no intervening high banks. The riverside is mostly treelined making for attractive scenery but sadly the pleasure was much reduced by the very strong wind making steering the boat hard work.
After a few miles and a couple of locks we pulled into the large lake housing Hartford Marina where we filled up with diesel - 178 litres. It sounds a lot but will last us a couple of months or so. Then past Huntingdon and on to Godmanchester.

Mooring at weekends can be difficult for narrowboats as there are a large number of smaller cruisers out for short trips. As the picture shows we wereat least able to find half a mooring!
