Tour 2013
13 - Newark to Shardlow - River Trent Navigation, Trent and Mersey Canal.
Wednesday 1st May 2013
NA Started solo at 06:15 from Newark, fantastic bright sunny morning, but thick frost on roof of boat! We had to get a move on because PW and MC wanted to leave Friday around 09:00 and NA really wanted to be above Atherstone on the Coventry by then. Hazelford Lock was self operated, by keeper had just come on for Gunthorpe Lock. We passed a cruising club in convoy (or rather completely across the river) that had just pulled off from Gunthorpe visitor mooring pontoon (must have been busy!) No sign of them by Stoke Lock. Bit of a hold up at Holme Lock waiting for Nottingham Princess, also due to one of the top gate paddles sticking (CaRT bods got it going by a whack with a club hammer!) Off the river at Meadow Lane Lock at 14:10 and through Nottingham on the Nottingham Canal. Visitor moorings pretty busy in Nottingham Sainsbury moorings. Slow trundle up the rest of the Trent and through Sawley and Shardlow, eventually stopped for the night above Shardlow Lock, where amazingly there was one mooring left, near the lock 19:15. That night it was a quick meal and pint in the Clock Warehouse pub, then early to bed!
