We set off from Fotheringhay at 9:15 and cruised pass the stunning church - photograph available in our September 2019 blogs. Another narrowboat followed us and we travelled together through the attractive scenary ascending 4 locks - Perio manually operated), Cotterstock, Ashton (another manual lock) and Lower Barnwell.

They left us at Oundle Marina and we carried on alone through Upper Barnwell, Lilford and Wadenhoe Locks to arrive at the FOTRN (Friends of the River Nene) Pear Tree Farm mooring at 15:30. We had passed a number of other boats, mainly cruisers, on our journey and were worried that the moorings would be full as there are no alternatives within easy distance. Fortunately there was enough space for us as another narrowbat had left about 30 minutes earlier.
11.62 miles, 7 locks, 6hrs 15 mins.
