So the flood waters have passed and the indicator is (just) in the amber. Brothers John and Mick at Kingfisher Boats saw us off after receiving suitable thanks for their kindness! The river was much lower as we left Cranfleet Lock (compare the picture with a recent post). On New Year's Day, you couldn't see much concrete below the sign.

We moored at our usual spot outside Sainsbury's, near Castle Marina, followed by a 7 mile cycle along the mainly asphalted Trent Way riverside path back to Trent Lock, to collect the car in the gathering dusk. We took the opportunity to visit Liana's mum nearby, always a pleasure.
