Chapter 6 - The River Trent - 3


Hazleford Lock




Newark Town Lock




Moored against a high wall right opposite the old castle



The castle is dramatically illuminated after dark


Nether Lock


The Trent proper


The pontoon on which we were wanting to moor


She finished up alongside the pontoon, facing upstream



Cromwell Lock and Weir are enormous




The steel cable barrier that crosses the weir


We took advantage of a drop in the wind to return to Newark


Moored up next to San Fairy Ann



It was a less picturesque spot altogether,


but it was a quiet, secure place to be, and we were very content
