Oundle


Wadenhoe Church
Much better weather today, blue skies and very little wind.  We left Peartree at 10:15, travelled through Wadenhoe with its ancient church overlooking the river and down a couple of locks to arive at Upper Barnwell Lock where there is a water tap.  We filled up and cruised on. 

One of the problems with cruising on the Nene is that there are very few opportunities to dump domestic rubbish.  We now have 3 bags of the stuff in the front well of the boat.  FOTRN has an agreement with the Oundle Cruising Club just below Upper Barnwell Lock for members to use their rubbish bins but we could not see anywhere to moor.
Moored at Oundle

We arrived at Oundle at 14:45 and moored at the unofficial moorings near the old bridge into town.  There are signs from the local Angling Society say boaters should leave by 8am.  However I doubt we will be up by then so we will see what happens.

The reason for moorng at Oundle is the nearby Waitrose where we stocked up for the next 2 days.
