Sunday 29th June

Another fine day so after breakfast we set off in the boat for our return journey along the River Wissey. It was uneventful and a couple of hours later we arrived at a village called Hilgay where we moored for lunch.















It was bright but still very windy - it didn't stop the local children from swimming in the river though. We got the bikes and set off to explore the village. There is only one shop - the butcher but he seems to sell everything. We found the local church which is approached by a long avenue of poplar trees. It looked very impressive. It was nice to find it open but unattended - obviously the locals feel theirs is a safe village.


















We set off again late afternoon for another couple of hours, rejoining the Great Ouse and are now moored at the mouth of the River Little Ouse - the mooring just happens to be a pub garden! Needless to say we had to be polite and sample the brew.
