This October morning had been cloudy, with persistent mist, but after midday the sun showed signs of breaking through - and not long after this picture was taken the sky cleared and was blue for the rest of the day (see, for instance, TL4963 : Cruising down the Cam, taken half an hour later).

Bottisham Sluice on a January morning

The notice advises foolish people not to climb, as the sluice's machinery can move without warning, or swim as there are strong currents.

He was making for the right-bank path. I decided it looked as if it would be too claggy, so returned to Clayhithe by road, through Waterbeach.
