River Tent Stoppages 6+ Weeks

[Alan de Enfield]

Notice sent out to Marinas on the Trent.

 

From about mid October the Trent will be 'closed' for 6 weeks+ at Newark Town Lock.

 

Make sure you don't get stuck on the 'wrong side' for Winter.

 

Edit - nothing (yet) about it on the C&RT stoppages website.

Yes. We have had to move our holiday forward a week in October to avoid being stuck the wrong side of this one.

Your Pal "Roger" (with his Pedro) is currently moored alongside us - said "Hi"

Does this mean no camping?

I think its a C&RT ploy to give Stuart Gardner something else to do.

Roger and Lynne. Nice couple and a lovely new boat they have bought. Adebar.

Thanks for that - always have had problems with their website, if you search for past & future stoppages by waterway (ie the Trent) it only gives work being done at the C&RT office pontoon handrail.

Guess I'll just have to search in loads of places to find the information instead of just one (obvious) one.

We have some fairly lengthy stoppages this year. Stamp End Lock at Lincoln is shut for six weeks as well.

Am I wrong in thinking that there's normally a map with 'Colours' indicating stoppages with dates. I find it tedious looking through a list of stoppages especially when I don't even know where I'm going to be. A map would help me plan where not to be.

I haven't managed to work out the reproductive cycle of the common bicycle yet - it does appear that they are amphibians and need water to spawn in

They are a sort of crab, you can tell by the way they move

So do men at work or similar signs - I can see in two in one of the photos!!

 

How about fishing the trolleys out and returning them to their owners regardless of condition - Best left in the middle of a really busy aisle or use a mucky one to do your shopping in. The muck wont harm the beer and wine bottles.
