Considering
when we might go through Denver, I rang Paul at the lock and he said the
earliest time would be 12.30 pm the next day and it might extend to about
2.30 pm. I said I would try to get there towards the end of the session.
Thinking more about it, I realised that would meant leaving March quite early
and then not being sure if I could get there in good time so we decided to
leave March and head for Upwell. That would take a couple of hours off the
journey.
As planned,
we arrived at Upwell just after 6.00 pm and moored at the Church Bridge Staithe.
Unfortunately the Five Bells pub near the church, where we planned to have a
pint and maybe a meal, had loud music blasting out (odd for 7.00 pm on a Sunday)
so we retired to the boat for a very tasty lasagne and roast veg. Upwell looks better on foot than it does from either a car or on board Skylark. I was particularly impressed by the Well Creek Trust that provided the mooring and looked after this stretch of river.
