Bank Holiday (Long weekend) on the Trent

[CX54WEK]

Just a quick look at what we were up too over the weekend. Nothing special as we didnt have long off but we still enjoyed ourselves.

Heading up the Trent to Cromwell

Busy Cromwell Lock

Leaving Cromwell and heading for dinner at the Muskham Ferry

After dinner and a few rowdy pints we all head back to Cromwell Lock to find the moorings full. So Nitty Gritty and Naughty-Cal moor in the field opposite and taxi across by dinghy to join the others.

Next day and we head downstream again for a BBQ at Dunham Bridge

The ski clubs are out enjoying themselves

And the vulcan puts in another appearance

Day three and we head yet further downstream to West Stockwith

To arrive at Stockwith at slack high water we have to leave Dunham at low water which on a big spring tide isnt much fun!!

More water now thank goodness

With Cal safely tucked up in the basin we head up the Chesterfield Canal on the dinghy. This is a very pretty but very shallow bit of water.

Day four and its a misty start in the basin

But before long the sun starts to burst through

Then its time to head home.

Another short break over and done with. Now we can start looking forward to our next break at the end of next month when weather dependant we are heading to Kings Lynn.

Thanks for the pics.

What's with the Christmas tree?

I want Anna. No, I need Anna, she is lovely.

Anna is going to France shortly. She is owned by friends of ours who are having 18 months on the French canals.

Mad Martyn found the christmas tree so thought he would save it and plant it at home!!
