Back on the Great Ouse

Views of the Little Ouse

Last night it rained heavily and did not stop til lunchtime when we set off again down the Little Ouse.  Thanks to the rain the water level was up a bit and we made reasonable progress going with the flow despite an increasing head wind.  Two and a half hours and 7 miles took us to the junction with the Great Ouse where we turned right to go down stream.

Once on the main river the wind became stronger and colder and the final 3 miles were very tiring.  However we did manage a moderate speed and moored up at Hilgay, where we had stayed last Fridday night, just before 4 pm.

10.55 miles, 0 locks, 3 hours 20 mins travelling
