Ashton in the shade

Nothing much new to say - hot sunny weather, lovely scenery, guillotine locks etc etc


Barnwell Mill next to Upper Barnwell Lock
Moored in the shade at Ashton

After leaving the Middle Nene Cruising Club's moorings at Titchmarsh we descended 5 scattered powered guillotine locks to arrive at the pleasant moorings near Ashton Lock a short distance from Oundle.  On the way we filled up with water at Upper Barnwell Lock - a useful find as water points are not common on the Nene.

We are beginning to run short of groceries so we would have liked to eat out this evening.  However it is 3/4 of a mile walk to the nearest pub so a bit too far.  Hopefully we will have the chance to shop in Oundle and/or eat out at our next stop.

Today: 7.3 miles, 5 locks, 4 hours 10 minutes travelling
