Erewash trip

Key things: With a deepish boat, its slow going.. you need a special key for the locks, there are other places to moor other than at Trent Lock and Langley Mill, we met kids on the way, but they were not nasty - far from it. We didn't pick anything up on the prop, though we did see a shopping trolley at the side on one bit.

 

Nice trip

Greatly underrated canal - we loved it too.

 

On the issue of the key for the locks, from memory I don't recall it being anything other than a standard handcuff key - unless something has changed???
