Monday 16th June

Locked down onto the river and turned left to explore the Westbridge Arm as far as the first bridge. Then we turned and went downstream.

For lunch we went in to Billing aquadrome and managed to moor near the Billing Mill pub. They had run out of real ale so we resorted to Bulmers Pear and a sandwich and then pressed on for Wellingborough. We had one manual sluice lock today and it was quite hard work.

Turned round and moored at Wellingborough. Walked to the Locomotive for a drink first. Then we went to the Old Grammarians Club hoping to eat there, but we out of luck beacause it was Monday. Then, as we had to pass the Coach and Horses On the way to Wetherspoons we called in and they were doing food. So we ate there instead.
