I like my Land Rovers unmolested and original. ;)

But another thing I like is the mooring at Rushden. Good quay, nice bollards, deep enough water, and lots of room. :)
Shame the facilities have been out of action for years.

Mooring at rushden ??

Are we talking about the same rushden

Rushden. It is on the River Nene. The mooring is right outside the old Rushden and Diamonds football ground. It is actually closer to Irthlingborough, but called Rushden Visitor Mooring.

Sorry

Yes although it may be better now as rushden lakes development

No worries. TBH, the area immediately around the mooring is a bit grim. An empty football ground, and a huge industrial estate and car park, also looking a bit underused.
The mooring itself is nice, though, there aren't many decent places to moor on the Nene. And there is a good curry house in Irthlingborough, about 20 minutes walk from the mooring.
 
It’s probably the same place the water in your head light came from...:eek:

That motor will give kids nightmares. ;)
Watch the kill switch on the front the kids will turn it off at the traffic lights(yes don’t ask how I know)
Keep us updated on the build we are here to help,have fun & hopefully answer your questions
 
I know exactly where you mean

Scrapyard and traveller encampment with associated cars and crap everywhere
A narrow bridge rundown footie ground etc etc

I bought a delta speedboat off the Nene about 3 years ago, one owner for 40+ years it was a stunning wee craft :cool:

The bridge is even worse if you are going under it in a boat. Probably the most difficult steer on the whole river, especially if you are going upstream.
