Spring Updates

Finally Spring seems to have arrived after what has been a very wet winter for a lot of people.  We're busy getting ready for the start of the season on 7th April. 
Oundle Marina
It's an especially exciting year for us as this will be our first year based down the road at Oundle Marina. Preparations are getting well underway and our banner is up! 
We will be having an open day on Saturday 5th April and you are welcome to come and have a look around the boats.  Check our Facebook, Twitter and website  pages for updates. We've also added an online booking system, so you can now book via the website and we've produced an app and mobile website which contains a handy guide to the River Nene.  The app is currently available to download on Google Play and will be available for Kindle and Apple devices shortly.
Mobile Site and App
This year we will be adding a few yummy extras for our customers, including Nicky & Elaine's fresh free range eggs from the smallholding just up the road and jars of jam from the The Pickled Village, nearby in Bulwick.

We are busy getting our small campsite ready as well, with a number of improvements and a Tipi being made for us for this season, to add to the Bell Tents and Yurt.  The Tipi will be available to hire as part of canoe short break packages on the River Nene with our friends up river at Canoe 2.  Updates coming soon!  Meanwhile, lambing will be getting underway in the next few weeks and some of the sheep are looking like little barrels at the moment!
We will doing our RYA training this Monday on Sumo, so if you see us going past don't forget to give us a wave!
