Hiya,

 

Planning a little trip..

 

Someone has told me there is a pump out facility at Gunthorpe but I've not seen anything in my book or CRT (lol) maps...is this correct and if so where, how etc?

 

Also read there are next to no facilities left at Gunthorpe (being sold off?) is this correct as I think my book shows toilet at Elsan disposal....just cautious of where we plan our stops based on the available info in print and online etc...

 

Many thanks,

Dave

Hi Phil,

 

This is sort of the reason I'm asking....this info is not correct - there is water and (limited) waste disposal at Hazleford Lock for instance that doesn't show on here as well as Water Points at Newark & perhaps others I'm unaware of....

 

Canalplan should show that the nearest water, waste disposal and elsan disposal are at Gunthorpe itself...but I have heard the elsan is no longer available but conversely heard there is a pump out facility there...I was hoping for input from regular visitors to Gunthorpe...

Wrong Gunthorpe in the listings!  The listing shows the Gunthorpe just downstream (North) of West Stockwith.

 

I,m not up to date with the Gunthorpe between Nottingham and Newark.

I am not aware of a pump-out at Gunthorpe.

There is a marina on the opposite side (to the lock and services / facilities) they do repairs and all sorts of stuff (you cannot miss it, it looks like a scrap-yard) they may have a pump-out but I have never asked.

 

There are pump-outs at Newark marina, Farndon marina and Kings marina but if you are heading for Nottingham you've already passed them.

 

Next pump-out I think is in Castle marina in Nottingham city centre.
