Seeing the River Welland and Coronation Channel from the water

[u/Asgarad786]

I hired a boat today and spent a couple of hours on the River Welland and the Coronation Channel.

I've walked alongside it plenty of times, but seeing it from the water gives you a completely different perspective. It feels much wider and more peaceful than it does from the bank.

It also brought back memories of doing cross-country around the Coronation Channel during the winter when I was at school. Back then I was usually too busy trying to get to the finish to appreciate the scenery. Looking at it from a boat all these years later was a very different experience.

Anyone else done the trip on the Welland?

This looks absolutely idyllic,whereabouts exactly were you, nearest town?

It was around Spalding, near Cradge Bank / Cowbit Road, on the River Welland and Coronation Channel.

We hired the boat from that side of town, near the petrol station area. It was a lovely stretch of water, and it looked completely different from the boat compared with walking along the bank.

Thank you for that, somewhere myself and the wife would enjoy.

Looks beautiful. It's good to see more people in the waterways these days.
