Torksey flood gates shut again!

I've just been over the Trent at Shardlow and up the A50 to Willington, there is a LOT of water coming down, a good 2 maybe more feet higher than when I went down it in the red last week.

Been out today and down through Holme lock. Rivers up a bit and a bit of a flow but nowt to shout about. Did meet a narrowboat coming uphill and it took him for ages to get to the lock but he was fine and carried on up to meadow lane.

Not the Trent but connected to it. The fossdyke is now in flood again. Navigation through both Lincoln and Torksey restricted again.

 

Luckily we are locked in at the marina so no worries for us.

Not a stoppage yet but could well be.

 

Below Newark town lock there is a large obstruction in the middle of the river, possibly a vehicle. Approach with care.

 

CRT have been informed and Newark marina are sending their tug to investigate.

Still sand bars across the locks.

 

They are passable with care and a careful watch on the depth sounder.

 

The bar across Torksey lock cut has got bigger as well. Dont cut the corner into the lock cut as you will run aground.

 

They are chopping a lot of trees down on the Fossditch as well so there is a lot of debris in the water from that at the moment as well.

Just heard that Cromwell Lock is now shut until at least the 18th May.

 

The sand bar across the lock is now a danger to navigation.
