Diamond Jubilee Weekend

Diamond Jubilee weekend - 3 day trip to Nottingham and back

New alternator was performing well until the main retaining bolt sheared yesterday afternoon - luckily I had a spare.

Day one was a trip to Trent lock and meal with the wives - 6.5 hours cruising

Day two was Trent lock to Nottingham and back to Shardlow - 11 hours cruising including half an hour to replace the bolt on the alternator

Day three was return to Findern from Shardlow - 4.5 hours cruising.

Never been so cold and wet as yesterday - the trip back up the trent was so slow due to the flow lack of power and propeller size - at one point around attenborough nature reserve we were hardly moving at full throttle due to the choppy trent.

Good band on in the Navigation shardlow last night as well to warm us up - the struts

the 'trip' in nottingham - well worth a visit and the beer is good too
