Huntingdon

Just a short journey today - 3 miles and 2 locks in 2 hours.  We need to shop again, and this may be our last chance for perhaps 5 days.  We left just before 9am and travelled quickly and smoothly downstream, wind speeds having dropped since a couple of days ago, passing through Brampton Lock and Godmanchester Lock.  At the latter we met up with Mike and Jane on narrowboat Gamnel Princess.  We will be seeing them again when we return to Northampton as they are heavily involved in the Water Festival at the end of August which we will be attending.

Moored at Huntingdon

Around 10:30 we both arrived in Huntingdon planning to moor by the park.  Unfortunately all those moorings were full so we turned around and moored alongside Gamnel Princess at council moorings near the ancient (14th Century) bridge. They later moved on and so we are now moored directly by the bankside.

This afternoon we went into the town centre to do some of the grocery shopping - the rest can wait until tomorrow.
