As the weather forecast is predicting 50mph winds on Saturday we have decided to get to Shobnall boatyard in Burton by Friday as manoeuvring the boat in that speed of wind is very difficult. So we have been travelling until 4pm to moor in Sawley.
We left Holme lock at 9:00, went through Meadow Lane lock where workmen are still creating the new riverside walk, without any delays and moored in Nottingham. There, Denise went shopping in the city centre whilst I shopped for provisions for the final time at Sainsburys. We then went into Castle Marina for a pumpout and to refill with water. That completed we retraced our route of last week down the Beeston canal to the Trent, through Cranfleet Cut, back onto the Trent and then up Sawley lock. Fortunately the weather has been warmer and less windy today and so the lengthy trip today was no great effort.
