Date - 24/07/08 Day - Thursday Start - 0915 Stanground Lock End - 1800 Wansford Railway Station
Harnser's present position I'm glad we spent the night on the lock moorings rather than mooring near the housing estate by the look of some of the youngsters mooching about. 9-15 this morning and Tina had the lock ready for us, there were 3 boats waiting to come to the Level as we left. Once back to the main river we turned right to The Dog and Doublet where the Nene becomes tidal, there are good 24 hr moorings just above the lock but the road is very close and quite noisy. We walked down to the Dog and Doublet to have a look, it is all closed up now. I don't know how long its been closed but it has the NO Smoking its against the Law signs up. We headed back upstream and did a bit of shopping at Asda with its very convenient moorings. The next stop was the Peterborough Cruising Club to top up with diesel, 190 lts. used on the Ouse and the Middle Level. We continued upstream, by now it was getting very hot again and there were lots of kids swimming at different bridges etc. but they were all OK and caused no problems. We moored for the night by the Nene Vally Railway at Wandsford at 1800 hrs -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Join SOW and help save our waterways http://www.saveourwaterways.org
