Three Holes

 

Here I am Rune

Distance 13.3 miles

Total 4123 Locks  264 Tunnels

Running total mileage 6,275.2 miles

With our first day onto the less travelled parts of the Middle Levels and I was quite impressed with the waterways, wide and relatively weed free. Because of this we were able to travel to the end of Middle Level Main Drain to the point at which we had earlier crossed it on the aqueduct at Mullicourt. The only dampener on proceedings (literally) was the fact that as we cruised up to Mullicourt, the heavens opened and it was in a substantial downpour.

 

Tomorrow we have to decide whether to try to get to Ramsey or to stay here until Monday and do it then. The distance is about 19 miles and from my map, no intermediate moorings are shown, so it cold be a bit of a drag. 15 miles of it looks to be on similar waterways to today, but there is a 3 mile section that could well be a bit slower, we’ll have to see.
