Wicken Lode is a must,try to time it to stay over night, It is about an
hour from the Cam, the Reach if you want to say you did it and Burwell
if you want punishment. We enjoyed The Wissey and a visit to
Prickwillow pumping station is worth a look. If the moorings below the
bridge are full there are another set about 200 yds upstream on the
other side. The Cam is very pretty and of course Ely. We have not got
to St Ives yet and we find we are short of time, we must lock back to
The Level next Tuesday. so keep reading the reports.
