We started the day with a trip into Weedon village to the shops and a look around. Love the stone houses, thatched roofs.

The church is a pretty sandstone and we stopped to listen to organ practice on our way back to the boat.
We popped in to see Les on NB Valerie as he was moored opposite us. Thanks for the tea and chat, Les. It was good to meet up with you.
We got underway at mid-day and arrived at the top of Rothersthorpe Locks on the Northampton Arm at 3pm.
It was rather windy at the top but sunny. The 17 locks down to Northampton kept us busy for the afternoon and we moored above Becket's Lock at 7 pm.

There is a Nene Guide that I have done, if you havent seen it you will find a link on the left hand side of my blog.
