Waiting below Isleham Lock as a cruiser locked through...

... and Rosie cooled off.

Above Isleham Lock, the River becomes narrower, faster flowing and windier.
|
Approaching Judes Ferry where we winded in the entrance to an arm used for moorings, although the guide book gave the maximum length for turning as 13.7m.
|
 Back on the Ouse we spent the night at Littleport where this sensible advice allows best use to be made of limited mooring space.
|
Pippa steers on her own.
|
Another example of the effects of settltement near the junction with Brandon Creek.
|
Waterways for Youth! These lads were enjoying themselves as we came back up river through Littleport.
|
A well known landmark seen from the river.
|
Some curious visitors as we tied up in the middle of nowhere on the Old West River.
|
Approaching St Ives Lock ...
|
... the first we had encountered with a layby in the chamber.
|
St Ives Bridge.
|
Entering St Neots Lock under the narrow low bridge.
|
There are proposals to widen the lock as part of the redevelopment of the adjacent disused paper mill site.
|
Cooling off!
|
Where's the way out? Roxton Lock.
|
Its not much clearer where the way in is for downstream craft.
|
Entrance to the old lock above Great Barford.
|
George heads forward ...
