Holme Pierrepont Lock to Sawley Marina
Having heard that there was a stoppage at the next lock up the Trent that meant that boats could only go through from 10-11am and 3-4pm, we set off early to make sure that we were first in the queue. There was only a short pontoon for boats waiting to use the lock, and by the time the lock opened there were four boats hanging on.
After a brief canal section through Nottingham, through a very nicely reconstructed centre, we headed back down on to the wide fast flowing Trent for the final section to Sawley.
As we approached Sawley Marina we were amazed to spot a boat from the Mon and Brec Canal that used to more at Cambrian Marina. As we passed the occupants came out and it was the same owner as before. Readers who know the boat will remember who the owners daughter is ( and what she was famous for!!!!)
