I write from Castle Marina in Nottingham, having arrived here early this afternoon. It was touch and go this morning as to whether we would move today. Last night was FREEZING!!!! and we awoke to a severe frost again. We went round\u00a0to the facilities on the Erewash to investigate the water availability situation and empty the elsan.\u00a0The water in the Trent Lock was frozen and the\u00a0actual canal\u00a0was frozen over too!\u00a0 It didn’t come as much of a surprise to find that the water point was also frozen! <\/span><\/p>\n

I decided that the best thing to do was to walk up to Cranfleet Lock and see if the water point there was also frozen. If it was then we may as well stay where we were and see if we could fill our water\u00a0containers at the pub. George didn’t want to go for a walk that early, preferring to laze by the fire, (no change there then!)\u00a0so we left him behind. As luck would have it the water point at Cranfleet was ok so we decided to move on to Nottingham.<\/span><\/p>\n

As cruising days go it was ideal, bright, no wind, a bit cold but not unbearable\u00a0and the river was really calm. We had a really pleasant trip here. Upon arrival George decided he wanted to go to the pub but as we didn’t know which one we would find and if they would take dogs we had to leave him here, much to his disgust! As it happened we found ‘The Navigation’ (very popular pub name!) near the Castle Lock do let dogs in so, as we are staying here tomorrow night as well,\u00a0we will take him there tomorrow lunchtime if we can get him to do the walk! <\/span><\/p>\n

There is also a very convenient Sainsbury’s right near here so we can\u00a0stock up on Xmas goodies before we bugger off to Gunthorpe. Marvellous.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
