Back to Upwell

Well Creek at Upwell - it's not the Great Ouse!

Moored at Upwell (2nd boat)

Last night we were woken at 4am by a knocking on the boat.  Nothing sinister, just the ducks enjoying an early breakfast scraping the weed and algae off the side of the hull.  We only made a short journey today.  6 miles up the narrow and shallow Well Creek to the long waterside village of Upwell where we moored just before lunchtime by the old and unfortunately locked church.  Two of the other boats that had crossed from the Great Ouse yesterday later joined us.

We walked to Brian Tweed, the nearest local butchers (Upwell has 3!) and bought some home-made haslet for lunch and sausages which we will enjoy this evening.
