Newark Festival 2013 - Part 3

Newark to Burton Waters

28 Miles, 3 Locks
Total 56 Miles, 6 Locks

 Under blue skies we leave Newark and head downstream.

 Cruising unhurriedly past the magnificent church at Muskham.

 Waiting for the tide at Cromwell.

 On the tidal river at last.

 But there is no hurry today. It is the start of the fishing season and every avaliable inch of river bank is taken.

 The junction of the old Trent meets the new course of the river.

 The storm clouds gather as we approach Torksey.

Back on the Fossdyke and the storm clouds still threaten rain.
