The Middle Level Link Route

General

Map Scale I04FWp2c2: Note that not all maps are at 3" to the mile.
Distance Chart I04FWp10c1: The use of fonts, italics and colons is inconsistent making the chart difficult to read. BOTH references to Ashline Lock (under 'River Nene Old Course' and 'Ramsey High Lode') should read Lodes End Lock.

Stanground Lock I2kRNp10: The Middle Level Commissioners own navigation notes do not stipulate that 48hrs notice of passage through the lock is required, saying only: "Telephone lock-keeper beforehand and do not enter lock without keeper in attendance."
Stanground Lock I2kRNp10MLmap: There is a low footbridge across the lock. This is the reason for cruisers being limited to 12.2m length. They get through by going under the footbridge to the high end of the lock before letting in the water. The stern half of narrowboats have to fit under it and are likely to have about 8" clearance to the cabin top.
Stanground Lock I2kMLmap98: The telephone number should read 01733 566413.

Bevill's Leam (Not covered - Currently!)

Marmont Priory Lock I2kMLmap98: The dialing code for the lock keeper should be 01945.

Outwell Basin I2kMLp4c2: The moorings in the basin at the junction of the River Nene and Well Creek were provided by the Well Creek Trust. The turn noted as "almost 360°" should read "almost 180°". The Wisbech Canal, filled in the 1970s, joined the link route at this point.
Crown Lodge Hotel I2kMLp4c2I04FWp16FWp18c1: Half a mile east of Outwell Basin, the hotel operates in buildings previously used as a garage. It has a bar, restaurant and its own moorings.
Gladys Dacks Staithe I2kMLp4c1MLmap: The Well Creek Trust have provided moorings, the Glady Dacks Staithe, between Mullicourt Aqueduct and Nordelph.
