River Lark

As mentioned in my last post I plan to spend the next week or row exploring the smaller rivers which feed the Gt Ouse. I've started with the Lark which is a short river running from the Ouse near Littleport towards Bury St Edmunds although it is only navigable for around 9 miles to Jude's Ferry near Mildenhall. I left Ely around midday and spent an hour cruising up the Ouse then turned onto the Lark and followed it for 3 miles to the little village of Prickwillow.

After a couple of bumpy nights at Denver and a windy one in a Ely it's nice to be moored up in the tranquility of the open countryside. An early night with a good book is next on the agenda.
