Huntingdon to Stretham

Left at 815. Made very good time through St. Ives and stopped at The Pike and Eel hotel for lunch.

After a short lunch we carried on downstream through Earith lock onto the Old West River. This was much slower and we did not get to Stretham till gone 5pm. Fortunately the mooring there, which only had space for one long narrowboat, was free.

Had at look at the outside of the Stretham Old Engine, which is only open once a month.

Walked into Stretham to the Red Lion. After a very good two course meal we walked through the village to find the windmill, which is now a house.
