Irthlingborough to Wadenhoe



Most of the guillotine locks have been electrically operated - this one has a manual operation



We moored here.....

....and walked into the nearby village for refreshments.
I recommend  'Proper Job' a super pint!

These cows watched us closely as we returned to the boat!

Well, it was a hot day!

Our mooring overnight was....

....at the end of this lovely pub's garden'!

We had a walk into the village in the morning and enjoyed a tasty breakfast in a converted mill


'All aboard'
We set off for the days cruise
