Defeated by the heat

Yesterday we were moored against Wandering Canuck with a crew of Canadians as the pub moorings were full - many thanks to them.  The meal in the evening was excellant as was the beer.  So we can recommend the Red Lion at Wadenhoe to all passing boaters.

Beautifully situated Lilford Lock

Little Egret

Common or Arctic Tern
Even warmer today.  We set off just before 9am and only cruised for 2.5 hours before the heat got too much as we have no shelter from the sun whilst cruising.  A very pleasant 5.7 miles and 4 locks with increasing numbers of red kites, good views of little egrets and very pleasant scenery.  We moored at 11:30 desperate for some shade at the useful unofficial moorings above Ashton Lock.
