It was an 11.00am start on a grey cloudy day but at least we were moving on our trip to experience the delights of Peterborough via the middle fens. We took an hour or so in Ely to pick up provisions and stretch our legs and then headed north towards the Little Ouse Moorings to take on 200 litres of diesel (at 92ppl + duty this is still the cheapest fuel I have found on the river).
There were
not many boats on the water and not much in the way of wildlife but we reached
Denver Sluice at about 6.30pm and finding the frozen meal was still frozen, we
had a sumptuous fish platter in the Jenyns Arms right next to the sluice. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? - and it really is.
The sluice is quite a monster (more about that later).
In the evening, I fitted the
new tv (more about that later too).
