Here I am Rune
Distance 4.6 miles
Total 4150 Locks 264 Tunnels
Running total mileage 6,388.9 miles
Didn’t really get as far as I was hoping, but decided to stop on Manor Farm FORN Moorings rather than risk going on to Hardwater Mill moorings and finding them full.
Stopped off in Wellingborough to pick up the weekend shop so we now have no real rush to get to Northampton before Monday when we intend to put into the marina to carry out some repairs amongst other things. Can’t really say Wellingborough has much to recommend it, although in fairness we only skimmed the outskirts. It doesn’t really sell itself viewed from the river since it has a fairly brutalist Wellington HMP overlooking the river.
For tomorrow we will just get as far as we feel we want to go, it is another section with not a lot of available moorings and we’re about 9 miles and 11 locks out of Northampton. Might stop at Northampton Washlands or Midsummer Meadows, although by the time we’ve reached the latter we are more or less in Northampton.
