From Wellingborough back to Weston Favell Lock, River Nene
Yes, well spotted, we have turned round!
After doing last nights blog, we became aware of the Police having been called by another boater, as some local lads had apparently been carelessly casting their fishing lines into his boat. This inspired lots of inter-boater chatter which revealed that we were very likely to encounter intimidation and vandal problems a few locks ahead. Overnight we decided to avoid the chance of confrontation now and possibly again on our return, and so we have backtracked yesterdays journey. Extremely strong winds today, made it a very different experience and even the Environment Agency boys trying to cut river weed gave in to the elements. Our picture shows their very manoeverable machine - and why hasn't BW got something like this?
10 guillotine locks; 8.3 miles
