Cogenhoe before the rain

Timeless travels through the duckweed

The weather first thing this morning was not as bad as it was forecast for later and so we made a quick run of 2 miles and 2 locks to Cogenhoe (pronounced cook-no or possibly cook-ner) to be in a better position for a run through to Northampton tomorrow.  We paired up with narrowboat Timeless for the whole journey,  the main feature of which was the extensive weed coverage, both harmless duckweed and floating reed stems which tend to get wound around the prop.

We arrived at the attractive farmer's field moorings at Cogenhoe just before 10:00 with only a short delay because of the weed.  By lunchtime there was heavy rain which has continued all day, so it seems we made the right decision to move the short distance.
