Up at 745 and away at 805 to make it to Slaters Lode for the tide at 11. There had been a lot of heavy rain in the night but now it was sunny and windy.
Arrived in plenty of time but by now it was very windy which would make doing the turn to go upstream from the lock very difficult. Initially I was tempted ot go, but after watching another narrowboat only just make it, I decided not to.
Walked into Downham Market for lunch in the Crown Hotel which had very good food. After a short wander round the town we caught a train to Kings Lynn. Here we had a good look round, had a beer in the White Horse, the to the Stuart House Hotel to eat, another beer in the Live and Let Live, and finally back to the Hotel for another beer. Caught the last train back to Downham and walked back from there.
