The River Great Ouse to St Ives



We arrive at Ely




The Magnificent Cathedral










Traffic Lights at a lock!

We arrive at Earith

We had planned to moor up at this floating pontoon but unfortunately, due to high water levels from the recent rain, the walkway from it was not long enough!
We cruise a little further and find space at this good mooring

Our fiends John & Carol join us and we enjoyed a lovely meal in this pub

John and Carol stayed overnight in this nearby Bed & Breakfast....

....and we walked back to the boat in the rain!


Mobile Home!?!



A double guillotine lock


We moor up in St Ives


Cheers!
