Wellingborough

On the River Nene on our 4 week cruise of the Fen Waterways: After overnight thunder storms we travelled through a weedy section to Wellingborough. Only visited the weed hatch once! Thunderstorms at Wellingborough and mooring @ the back of Rushden & Diamonds FC. Great river.

Trip to Stoke Bruerne June 2006

A year after the Blisworth Tunnel Bicentenary celebrations, the Friends of the Canal Museum held a small boat rally.


We took Albert to the rally with our boating friends from Wolverhampton; the Kinnings


Great to have extra help with the locks and great weather again - just like 2005!


Tasty fish & chips and well earned round of drinks!

Easter Trip To Marsworth 2006

Not easy mooring on a bend!



The reservoirs were pretty full despite the dry winter.



Great to see a working pair.



Nuneaton & Brighton negotiating the bridge at Linslade

Winter trip to the Navigation Inn, Cosgrove

Took a trip with Kathy & Jim Graves to the Navigation Inn, Cosgrove where we were photographed from the bridge by Ann Jones.



All wrapped up on a cold day!

Stoke Bruerne Locks Maintenance March 2006

On March 5th we visited the Stoke flight to view the winter maintence work. New lock gates are being fitted to the 2nd lock.



The bank on the left is the reason why boats often go aground when not in the centre of the pound.



A good view of the bottom gates of the third lock showing why they can be heavy to move.



Dredging required? Just above the bottom lock.
