The weather
forecasters predicted heavy rain heading our way by lunchtime so we decided to
head back early – well 8am is early for us. Anyway, we affected a sort of
riverine 3 point turn and went back the way we came. Everything was still very
quiet. In fact, yesterday we saw no other boat all day.
We arrived
at St Neots at 12.30 in time for the predicted rain storms but everything skywards
was still dry. We had lunch and took on water from the Priory Centre (the local
vandals hadn’t found the tap yet). By 1.30pm the sky still looked reasonably
clear so we left with the intention of getting as far as we could towards
Huntingdon.Then at 3.30pm, the rain started, the umbrella went up and we put our heads down, not really enjoying the change in weather. So, when we got to a secluded GOBA site about 2 miles south of Huntingdon, we pulled over and settled down for the rest of the day. The site proved to be a good one; quiet, remote and, because of this, it felt quite safe (we didn’t hear any banjos!)
Day 6. Saturday, 22 Spetember 2012.
Nothing to report apart from returning home via the outward route but we did avoid the predicted rain!
That doesn't look anything like a rain cloud!
