Easter 2013 - West Stockwith

[CX54WEK]

Naughty-Cal ready to leave

Lovely early evening cruise to the lock

Not a promising start to the day

But steel boats have to be useful for something

Out onto the Trent at last

Its a bit chilly mind

Shouldnt take long to get there though

Typical Sunseeker mooring

But we all get in in the end

More to follow later......

Another chilly morning in the basin.

Nitty Gritty iced in

Could do with some newer toilet facilities!

Some Mate heading for home

Leaving the lock

And heading up river

Next day and time to walk some hangovers off starting with a walk up the river idle

And look what we find. Another pub!

Martyn finds a new friend

No comment on this one

Back to the basin

Time to send nitty gritty home

And one last night for NC at saxilby on the ditch

Its only a tiny village. Shadow of its former boat building history really. There are two pubs in the village, The Waterside and The White Hart (with its own brewery The Idle Brewery) and the yacht club opens at weekends. We had a night in the yacht club, the pie and peas were very nice. Then the next day we walked into the next village a few miles away and stumbled across the Haxey Gate on the banks of the River Idle. Another nice pub.

For anyone in the area the White Hart does excellent food and boaters get a very warm welcome.

It seems to have been a long time coming this year. For some reason it seems to have been a long winter.....
