Cogenhoe is a place to share my space!!

Monday and Today – Moored Cogenhoe, River Nene
Sunday – Weston Favell Lock to Cogenhoe, River Nene, 2.75 miles 3 locks
Saturday – Moored Weston Favell Lock, River Nene

Change of plan for Sunday, well the F1 Grand Prix started at 12pm after Country File, so trying to fit cruising down to Billing Aquadrome, mooring up, walking to the pub for lunch into that was not going to work, so we decided to watch the tele in the afternoon and cruise to Cogenhoe instead,  The weather forecast was for rain yesterday, so we wanted to just move downstream a couple of locks.  I like Cogenhoe, and know to moor just before the caravans..

Mind you, if you want to moor here then you have to be prepared to share!….

And Chas and Ann’s dog and cat have to learn to share…

While Lucy decides she wants her own space!!..

On the other side of the river!  …………..

It has been lovely here, the weather has been really nice, but I have had this cold to contend with the last few days which has kept me down a bit, but today, I thought darn it, I am going walking no matter what, and chose a beautiful walk to the east of Cogenhoe and over to the village of Whiston through the gloriously colourful fields…

It’s good to be back on the Nene, it seems so tranquil after the canals, just one or two boats by this weekend, seems we have the river almost to ourselves.  I thought I might do a bit of a River Nene guide as I go along, I have found a water tap that isn’t mentioned in any guide book.. tis just downstream of Cogenhoe lock, moor on the lock landing below the lock, and its a standpipe just across the track on the right.. so there you go!

I think we might just meander on a bit tomorrow, the weather is going to be good I think.  Will pop to the village for bread, milk etc, oh there is a Post Office in the village by the way, then fill with water and onward..
