We awoke to a grey morning, but the boat was warm as the fire had stayed alight all night again. We set off just after 9am passing down Weston, Aston, Shardlow, and Derwent Mouth locks with a hireboat returning to base. At Derwent Mouth where the canal joins the River Trent for a short while, we noted that the river level was well below the bottom of the indicator board, as low as we have ever seen it. Very different to when we were here in the Spring.
We left the Trent through Sawley Flood Lock to moor opposite the marina just after mid-day. We will stay here until we travel the final leg of our trip to Nottingham in the morning.
