Moored on the River Wissey

Last time we were in the fens 7 years ago we deliberately avoided a journey up the River Wissey so that we had a good reason to return in the future.  The time has now arrived

Moored on the Wissey

We left last night's mooring just after 10am and travelled north on the Great Ouse in pleasant weather through largely deserted countryside before turning right shortly before Denver Sluice onto the much smaller Wissey.  There we moored for the day half a mile east of the junction at 1pm.   Its an attractive place   as shown in the photograph.  Behind the camera there is a wood, largely silver birch.
