Any idea why this keeps cycling even after taps turned off? It works fine but when I turn taps off it keeps running but not at same Iintensity as when I have taps on. Checked filter bowl, ok and can’t find any leaks? Could it be the pressure switch and can I adjust it?

You may find this site helpful. It is published by GOBA, but covers the licencing arrangements for the EA waterways and the Middle Level.
https://goba.org.uk/a-guide-for-visitors-to-the-east/Fotheringay has my favourite water point on the entire system.
Tx, very useful

Do I need a separate Anglian Waters pass to go on the Nene?

On the river only a couple or so, off the river in the villages quite a lot.
Remember lockdown rules will be restricting those that can open in April.
Tx, appreciate only outside service and if it’s like round here many pubs won’t be opening till full service resumed.

Personally Peterborough would be bottom of my list of reasons for visiting the Nene - don’t care much for the place.
But the Nene is beautiful - lovely countryside, pretty villages, attractive river. Fotheringhay is a delightful spot to moor and the farmer’s fee goes to church funds.
Quite a lot of locks but almost all guillotines are electric. And do join FOTRN.That’s great, think we’re convinced to go for it mid April, are there many pubs on the river?

No
and unless they have normal gates both ends they must be left empty with the bottom gate raised
Aren’t they all normal gates? Do you mean leave the bottom paddle raised? Tx

Are any of the locks on the river manned?

Most Marinas have pump out and EA ones are at Wellingborough and Peterborough.
FOTRN provide moorings on the river and it's well worth becoming a member.
Water points at Wellingborough, Thapston, Oundle, Wadenhoe, Peterborough.
The above is all from memory so I may have missed some.

Don’t do pump out so not sure, there are a few water points. Really the services are at Wellingborough and Peterborough, there were at few more water points if I remember correctly.
Tx, appreciated

It is very much a river. It’s nice but there are very few moorings.
Pumps out, water...are there many?
-
Thinking about going to Peterborough after lockdown, can someone give me a quick overview. Pub stops, facilities, places to see or avoid. Is it worth the trip along the Nene. Is it more like a river or canal?

Did you try the pub/bar? Its a funny place, reminds me of a student bar of about 40 years ago, but with modern prices ?. The bakery is also interesting, some mornings there is a huge queue waiting for it to open.
Was the trip down through Rochdale and outer Manchester ok? How many weedhatch visits?
................Dave
Yep had a drink in there, I’m a bit old now for that. We were moored right outside. Had coffee and than a breakfast at the bakery, pollin or something it’s called. Trip was fine and I Had no weed hatch issues but we travelled with another boat and he got snarled a few times. He blames it on his Axiom prop which I was thinking of but glad I didn’t. Anderton lift to Weaver tmrw.

New Islington is unusual and although it has residential moorings its not like a typical marina. You just turn in and moor (two or three spaces on the left, pumpout and water on the right). Its totally public with a pub, bakery and housing (young peoples apartments) right next to the moorings. There might be a few street drinkers/rough sleepers hanging about but its mostly a safe place. The chances are that you will not see any of the marina management people, I think they mostly run it by phone/email.
A friendly resident boater might help if you have any questions.
