| Woodford Church overlooking the River Nene |
Same hot weather again. Our route took us through Woodford and Denford manually operated guillotine locks and Islip powered lock. At Denford Lock we had a superb view of a close by Red Kite swooping low over the water trying to pick up fish, but the attempts to take a photo were unfortunately unsuccessful. We arrived above Titchmarsh lock at 12:30.
Here we wanted to stop as we were both tired after the last few days efforts and are ahead of our deadlines. Also suitable moorings are more difficult to find further on and are likely to be busy with local boaters out for the weeked. Winter Rose wished to carry on so they descended Titchmarsh lock on their own whilst, luckily, we were able to talk to the harbour master of the adjacent Middle Nene Cruising Club who offered us a mooring for the night and a welcome at the club bar this evening.
This afternoon we hope to take a walk to Titchmarsh Nature reserve created around the lakes close to the river.
Today: 5.28 miles, 3 locks, 3 hours 30 minutes travelling
