Christmas Trip Days 7 & 8

As predicted the plan has gone out of the window thanks to the wet and windy weather.

I reached Ely on Sunday to find that the river from Earith to Bedford is on a "Strong Stream Alert" which basically means it is unsafe to navigate by boat. The Ely stretch is fine and I chose to stay put and sit out the heavy rain and gales in safety with all the trappings of civilisation nearby. Ely is a lovely little City with much to see and I intend to spend the next few days here until the river is behaving itself.  If the rain holds off I may visit the Cathedral this evening for the carol service.
