Entering West Stockwith Lock on The River Trent
A higher than usual tide (9.5m) had caused a lot of debris to wash into the channel. This included large tree branches and stumps so areas of flotsam had to be avoided. Hence the boat goes a little further downstream than usual to avoid turning into the debris near the mouth of the lock. Watch the lock keeper on the wall giving guidance, the helmsman would instinctively want to turn into the lock much sooner than directed by the lock keeper which would result in the boat, washed sideways as it turns across the current, striking the downstream lock wall. In this instance it is best to place your trust in the lock keeper for guidance as his vantage point on the wall gives a far better overview of the situation than that of the helm

Frozen Chesterfield Canal & West Stockwith Basin (Fri 25th Jan 2013)
Frozen to about 2 inches depth, the boats at West Stockwith Basin & the Chesterfield Canal were somewhat locked in.
As you can hear the icy wind was a little brutal, even more so standing atop of the banks of the River Trent further over.
Hazelford Lock
Hazelford Lock is five miles south west off Newark on the River Trent just north off RAF Syerston. It has a ¾ mile long island in the middle off the river with two weirs, one each side off the island and the lock is on the north side off the island.

West Stockwith to Chesterfield canal basin, full journey in pictures, with relaxing backing music.
This is a journey from one end of the canal to the other, I have captured as much detail as I can. At some stage I will add a commentary, captions on individual slides and some additional pictures I think appropriate.
Narrowboating up the tidal Trent | Keadby to Torksey Lock
In this part we take on the eerily calm (and bloody cold) tidal River Trent, setting off from Keadby Lock.
All filmed on an iPhone 8+, edited using Adobe Premiere Pro (for the first time, phew). Apologies for the v/o sound level towards the end, couldn't be helped unfortunately.

Cruising down the River trent near Torksey Lock
Taking a cruise down the trent in a Skipper 14 dinghy. We were running at around 12kts with a Mercury 4HP 2 Stroke outboard.
We launched at Marton, cruised up to Torksey Lock pontoon, then headed with the current back down river.

River Trent Overtopped At Torksey Lock in Lincolnshire
Here the River Trent has overtopped in two places, or just that can be seen.
It has deposited a huge amount of water on the land here, thankfully the owners of the cottage aren't stuck in there.
It's quite intimidating the speed of the Trent, one wrong foot and you won't be telling anyone about it.
The water is now much higher and level both sides of the flood bank.
Here is the updated video:
