	The River Nene, River Great Ouse, River Cam and the Fens
		The River Nene then takes a twisting course to Peterborough through pleasant rural surroundings and then becomes tidal as it crosses the flat Fenlands on its way to the sea.
		The Nene originally joined the Great Ouse to flow together into the Wash, but the course of the Great Ouse was moved in the twelfth century to a more easterly outlet near King's Lynn.
		The Middle Levels are a network of Rivers, manmade drainage ditches and sluices intended to drain the low lying area between Peterborough and the cathedral city of Ely.

	FOTHERINGHAY
		Spanning the River Nene, on which the village is situated, is this picturesque 18c stone bridge.

		Boats on the River Nene can moor at Fotheringhay, allowing people to explore the village before continuing along the river.

	River Nene: Waterscape.com
		The Nene is a quintessentially English river, its languid waters skirting settlements and gliding through timeless countryside.
		From here it flows through a rural landscape of gently rolling hills interspersed with numerous traditional stone villages and quiet country churches, for which the "country of squires and spires" is famous.
		As the link between the canal system and the Fenland waterways, the Nene is an important boating route, and has been greatly improved in recent years.

		The spelling was "Nen" or "Nyn" until the beginning of the 20th Century, and the point at which the pronunciation changes has been moving further inland for many years; the current edition of the Imray "Map Of The River Nene" suggests that the cut-off point is Thrapston.
		Whatever the spelling and pronunciation, it is suggested that the name originates from the nine springs that once fed the head of the river.
		The river also gave its name to the Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet engine, Rolls-Royce practice being to name their gas turbine designs after British rivers.

		The river runs from deepest Northamptonshire to the Wash and is the third longest river in England.
		However, on average, the carp population of the Nene is thin on the ground, and the fish tend to be very clumped in their distribution.
		The condition of the river can have a great bearing on the quality of the fishing and as the extra colour from floodwater is just dropping out of the river and levels are close to normal, sport is usually at its best.

		IT is amazing what a bit of water and flow does to the River Nene and I suspect to most other waters in the area.
		I was out and about along the River Nene at the weekend, and as well as fishing I spent a little time around the Orton Locks area - and what a sorry state it is in at the moment.
		While I have always said the river is there for everyone to use and get pleasure from, I fear if something is not done very soon many, shall I say normal river users, will not be venturing into the Orton area very often.

		It complements the detailed travelogue of the David Piper Owners Club Summer Cruise 2002 where we were one of four boats travelling together and six in total visiting this fascinating and little visited part of the system which has a character (and characters) all of its own.
		Ideally it should be an even number on the Nene where the locks are double width and very hard work.
		It would be possible for those from the Thames to cover the Nene and the main route across the Middle Levels plus the side trip to Ramsey with a two week reciprocal licence and make the trips between the Thames and the Nene via the South Oxford and Grand Union using one week BW licences.
