| Red Kite |
The forecast was good and I left the marina late morning in glorious sunshine. Shortly after leaving the marina I passed a couple of red kites enjoying the thermals. I managed to get a better picture this time. Such a beautiful bird I could sit and watch them fly all day. However, I had set myself the target of getting to Northampton in 2 days as there was work planned on some locks next week and I didn't want to get caught.
I pressed on passing some lovely countryside before stopping for the night just outside Wellingborough at a mooring alongside the Rushden and Diamonds football club - sadly in receivership.
The evening was not without incident. While making the bed I managed to catch a fingernail tearing it quite badly. Amazing how much that hurts. Later while having a shower I ran out of water having forgotten to fill up at the marina. Thankfully I had bottled drinking water.
