| Fotheringhay Church across the fields from the River Nene |
Very much of a routine travelling day. I am sure the scenery was just as good as the past couple of days but it all looks different in the cloudy weather. On the other hand the cooler temperatures made for a much more comfortable journey and the forecast thunderstorms never happened. Main point of interest was the spectacular but oddly stunted Fotheringhay Church. It was I think formerly a monastery building which was reduced in size when its status was changed to the village parish church. The river is now much wider and deeper so we were able to make fast progress - a total of 14miles and 7 locks. We are moored next to Wansford Railway Station on the privately run Nene Valley railway.
