The Tuesday Night Club on Tour
Tour 2015
1 - NB Earnest Ashby to Boston
9th June 2015
Nottingham VM. Peter Wright joined the night before, when we (NA +PW) stocked up at the handy Sainsbury's. We left at 08:00 and motored on down the Trent, stopping at Newark on one of the last "wall" moorings as the pontoon was full (14:30). After and early meal and a pint, we decided to have an evening cruise down to Cromwell Lock, for a quiet night.(20:00 to 21:00)
10th June 2015
Shoved off at 08:20 for our booked passage out of Cromwell Lock, down to Torksey. Out of Cromwell Lock at 08:30 and ambled down to Torksey. We arrived on the waiting pontoon at 11:25, but had to wait until the incoming tide to get through Torksey Lock (15:00). Neil spent most of this time boat fettling, as we had the luxury of a full length floaty pontoon. We passed Saxilby at 16:30 and arrived on the last CaRT Lincoln visitor mooring (17:45), just before the bridge and Brayford Pool. That night it was a meal at the excellent Wig and Mitre, on Steep Hill.
