I did have to make two visits to the weedhatch, but only for weed, and we were back at Trent Lock by 11.20. I had my second taste of the Trent on the way down to Beeston. I'm slowly getting used to it and I was almost enjoying it in the sunshine. Getting used to it slowly and a bit at a time has been a good idea and has done a lot in overcoming my "river nerves".

We have a tentative plan to include the Erewash in a trip in September. You'd actually sold it to me yesterday, but it sounds even better today!
Adam,
I'm sure YOU would enjoy it, although I still think it's not to everyone's taste.

Indeed -- I've read plenty of accounts by people who didn't like it at all. But I always reckon it's best to check these places out for yourself. Looking forward to reading about your travels further north.
We found the Erewash all right, an interesting waterway, with some lovely spots. Although we did get tagged with spray can paint in Ilkeston, it didn't put us off.
You personally, or the boat?
He,he,
doh, the boat.
