We continue our journey back up the Nene towards Northampton. We left Overton Lake at 9:30 and cruised 13 miles and 5 locks to finish up at the small village of Elton where we arrived at 3pm. Luckily we were able to travel with Dragonfly for the whole journey sharing the work of operating the locks. The weather was overcast but dry with a bit of a breeze and the scenery quite attractive. It was a pleasant enough journey though with no real highlights but, although we had intended to travel on to Fotheringhay, by 3pm we were feeling very tired and so stopped early.
