All overnighters moor on the hireboat moorings. All the outside moorings are on long term lease and there is a long waiting list for berth. Firesprite Thrapston on the Nene On route back to the Fens

The lower end of the Northampton Arm is mess, with many thing below the waterline to get pulled into your prop.
