Notice the unusual roof covering(I wonder if they have been reported to the police for having grass on board)
The locks on this part of the river are mainly manual with V gates both ends, so can take a while to get through but as we were not in a rush, it didn't matter. One of the bonuses of this river is that you leave the lock and don't have to prepare it for the next boat.
We passed through St Neots and managed to catch up with Linda and Ebony, who were moored there. We have planned another meet in a week or so as we both have committments next week. Ebony looked as if she would like to jump on our boat - obviously remembers our secret stash of dog biscuits!

Five locks and approximately 6 hours later we arrived at Great Barford and decided to settle there for the night. It is a picture postcard setting by the river and is quite a large village with 2 pubs and a shop.

You're venturing into perhaps one of the nicest stretches of rive, a totally diffrerent character to the rest of the river, all trees and overhung. Hope the weather turns nice for you, as it was lovely when we went down there, and perfect for photos.
