That can be fun when the river is up (maybe best to wait) Edited March 13, 2018 by philjw missing bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nell bridge is like a yo yo and can drop overnight. Just been down to the Erewash and only a poxy canoe would be able to get onto it at the moment such is the level. It has been lots higher mind in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momac Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Farndon this evening . I have seen it higher . Hopefully this is the peak water level. Usually the ramp onto the pontoon goes downwards from the car park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
