| Beautiful moorings at Ashton |
 |
| Spoilt by some thoughtless boater |
 |
| We bagged up everything except the dog crap, and were about to lug it all down to the boat when an EA van appeared on the weir, they said they'd arrange to get it picked up. Yay! |
 |
| They'd also built a few fires on the bank, how to ruin things for everyone else. The landowner would be within his rights to stop us all mooring here. |
 |
| We moored near Elton lock and wandered down to The Crown pub in the village, who should we meet there? Jan Pickles & H. |
 |
| The lovely moorings at Wansford, taken from the railway bridge. |
 |
| Great weather for early October! |
 |
| A nice and informative sign |
 |
| This Swedish locomotive is often used for filming continental scenes. |
 |
| Sunset over Wansford railway bridge. |
 |
| We had a nice breakfast in the friendly station cafe. Good toilet facilities here too. |
 |
| Coming back into Peterborough |
 | |
| Gongoozlers galore at Orton lock. |
 |
| Heading down the straight and wide channel that leads to Dog in a Doublet. |
 |
| A squadron of swans kept flying and landing in front of us. |
 |
| The condemned visitor moorings, with their rotting decking, removed mooring bollards and fenced off pedestrian access. We had no choice, we had to stop to check coolant levels. The Dog in a Doublet lock can be seen ahead. |
 |
| We had planned a visit to the Dog in a Doublet pub next to the lock, but our way was blocked by locked fencing. |
 |
| On the Old River Nene we past this Round Table sign for the Greenwich Meridian |
