First night aboard



Well we are now into our first ‘proper’ night on board Rune in preparation to leaving the Marina tomorrow morning and heading North towards Julia’s sister in Leicester. It actually feels quite strange that something that has been so many years in the planning has now come to fruition and we are now going to experience what life on the ‘Cut’ is actually like. Hopefully the very good weather that we have recently experienced will continue for the start of our travels around the system.


At the moment we are in Yelvertoft Marina and, if all goes according to plan, by tomorrow night we should be along the Welford Arm and in the village of Welford about 10 miles north of here. There don’t seem to be many challenges between here and there, only the single lock on the Welford arm to get us back into the mindframe of ‘locking’. That will be in preparation for the Foxton Locks as we make our way towards Leicester (2 Staircase locks in rapid succession). Will try to collect some photos on the way to attach to the blog.
