Stanwick Lakes FOTRN Moorings

The weather forecast for this morning showed a stroing likelihood of rain so we itended to spend the day moored.  However by 10:15 there had been no rain thoygh thre nearly had been a glimpse of the sun, so we decided to move on, travelling slowly back home.

We reached our planned destination at the FOTRN Mooring  in the Stanwick Lakes Nature Reserve near Higham Ferrers at 13:05 just as the rain started.   We had just pointed the boat towards the bank when another narrowboat arrived.  Fortunately we could both just fit in the limited space available, although it appears our bow is aground.  We intend to spend the whole of tomorrow here so we can look around the reserve.

Statistics: 4.79 mils, 3 locks, 2 hours 50 mins travelling
