Great to hear from you. I read something ...Hi guys!<br />Great to hear from you. I read something this morning about it being difficult to get out of Goole for one reason or another, but we know a couple who went round Trent Falls and they said it wasn't too bad! Mind you they went up the Derwent and got lost over a field in a flood!<br />Yes, our paths could cross with a bit of organisation, we're doing all the "bits off" as we go down, so down to Boston and up the Chesterfield, and we're going up the Erewash to Langley Mill before we actually set off down the Trent anyway, so we're not travelling as speedily as you're going to be. <br />At the moment we're still south of Leicester, but we'd love to catch up if we can, we'll keep in touch with our whereabouts on WhatsApp and I'm sure we can arrange something.<br />Dave and Ann-Marie.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09530873175510537751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265606216177862801.post-85459994402532754082021-05-03T17:35:03.776+01:002021-05-03T17:35:03.776+01:00So will our bows cross?
We have just moved back on...So will our bows cross?<br />We have just moved back on board with Tilly in Goole. Our plan when the tides are right is to head to Trent Falls on the Ouse (may take a detour to Selby just to escape Goole and it's limited pennings onto the river) to turn onto the Trent and make our way upstream. From your blog it sounds like you will be heading in the opposite direction.<br />We'll be on a touch of a mission as we want to be in London by the end of June for my brothers 60th, but depending on tides we may just be able to meet up somewhere.<br />Are you planning on heading up to Lincoln? West Stockwith etc? All highly recommended, although the Whittam can get a touch too straight with high banks. Or are you heading for Keadby? Or are you one of the boats headed for the River Hull?<br />Anyhow, hopefully we'll be able to see you somewhere for longer than five minutes, that's if we manage to escape Goole and get round Trent Falls in one piece.<br />PipPip and Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169230665256821649noreply@blogger.com
