Ely to St. Ives

After spending a while exploring Ely, we set off at 11.45. Decided not to stop for lunch, but the pub at Popes corner looked permanently closed anyway.

After Popes corner progress was slower and we even ran aground passing one boat. After Hermitage lock and the entrance to the New and Old Bedford Rivers, the river is bigger again and we speeded up again.

Moored for the night in St. Ives on Waits Quay behind Holt Island.

Went to eat in the White Hart which is a CAMRA Regional inventry pub, then to the Royal Oak which is also. Finally to the Oliver Cromwell which is in the GBG.
