Had a couple of hours to look round Peterborough before setting off at 11. Turned off the Nene into Kings Dyke and towards Stanground lock which I had booked for 11.30. After filling in the paperwork and purchasing the windlass and key, we went into the lock to go down onto the Middle Levels. No problem with depth of water in the lock but the lock keeper said that levels were slightly high. Which could present problems at some of the low bridges.
Managed to moor in Wittelsey for lunch to go to the Boat pub for lunch. This also served beer into glasses in the cellar. To our surprise they were doing basic food so we ate there too.
Had a quick look round the town and walked back via the lock.
Carried on via Ashlin lock along Wittlesey Dyke and turned onto the Old River Nene at Floods Ferry. When we got to March we moored by Town Bridge. Went to the Acre pub by the navigation to eat, then to the Oliver Cromwell Hotel, and finally to the Rose and Crown, which is the pub in the good beer guide.
