Day 6 - 23 August 2007 Ely to EA Moorings near Little Thetford We had a trip on the Nene Valley Railway today. Yes, I know, we passed Peterborough a couple of days ago – but we were in a rush to meet the Salters Lode booking. We got on a train heading for Peterborough with an overcast sky, but by the time we reached March the sun was shining – summer was back!
We bought some lunch in Asda as we walked to the NVR, and ate in the shadow of a hover-train on the Railworld site next to the NVR station. It didn't take long before the train arrived, and we had a nice and pleasant run to Yarwell in the sun. It did come overcast later, but only thin cloud. On the way back to Ely the sky darkened, and before we reached March the ground was wet. We arrived back in Ely in winter like weather. I wanted to find somewhere quieter for the night, and so continued up the river a little further. The flow was noticeably stronger now, and the river was up a couple of inches. We passed the now removed railway bridge, and before long passed Soham lode, and then found the EA moorings just beyond. It was still windy, and some waves were on the river. It later rained lightly, at least it stayed dry during our trip. -- Michael Askin http://shoestring_DOT_zapto_DOT_org/ Yahoo!
