PaulD Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Middle section closed at the moment due to low water levels. Nice canal with an undeserved reputation. Excellent moorings and boatyard at Langley Mill - well worth the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stagedamager Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 There's a rally at Langley Mill at the end of May next year which is always a great weekend, and yep, its definitely worth doing. The boatyard at the top is OK too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknorman Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 It is quite an urban canal for much of the way, but surprisingly clean and we found the natives very friendly. Certainly worth a trip, provided there is enough water in the canal and not too much water in the Trent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-M Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 And don't be put off by the initial weedy bit, it doesn't last for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
