![]() Hi All,
To commemorate us boating types joining the caravan forum here are some pictures of my cruising area on the Fenland waterways. For any boat spotters amongst you my boat is a 1964 Seamaster 25 with original Ford Zephyr engine. It has been in the family for 50 years now and still going strong. Does anyone else go boating/fishing/caravanning around the Fens? Cambridge – River Cam and Jesus Lock: ![]() River Cam near Upware: ![]() Junction of Burwell Lode and Wicken Lode: ![]() Wicken Fen – One way traffic! ![]() St Ives River Great Ouse: ![]() Holywell Great Ouse: ![]() Ely – Ely Ouse ![]() River Wissey near Denver: ![]() River Ouse at Denver: ![]() The lifeboat! ![]() Gratuitous picture of the family MG fleet at the Marina (it is a car forum after all!) ![]() |

The problem with the narrow lode at Wicken Fen is meeting a boat coming the other way. I send a crew member (Jane) off in the dinghy with a phone to the end and wait for the all clear before setting off! Have you gone down Limekiln Dyke off Barton Broad to Neatishead yet as that makes the Ant look wide? One of my first adventures on the Broads was taking a 36ft hire cruiser down there and then having to reverse into the mooring at the end. There is a good pub there to make it worthwhile ![]() |
