Again like yesterday - hot and glorious boating. We left early at 8:30 so that we could finish before the hottest part of the day. By 9:10 had descended the manual Ashton Lock and we were moored in an unofficial mooring on the edge of Oundle about 0.5 miles from Waitrose. So we now have enough groceries to last until we reach Peterborough.

Then onwards through a couple more locks, one electric and the other manual to reach the moorings at Fotheringhay at lunchtime. The view of the amazing Fotheringhay church from the river is one to be found in many guidebooks though sadly the church is now encased in plastic sheeting following major repairs to the roof.
Totals: 5.12 miles 3 locks 2 hours 40 minutes travelling.
