So that's the end of the Erewash and we're turning back.
We're hoping to get all the way back to Sandiacre or Long Eaten.
Yeah. Maybe even as far as the Trent lock.
It's supposed to rain this afternoon.
So, we we're going to get an early start but it's nearly nine o'clock.
So the basin has been really nice, there's four boats currently moored here. And a Canal and River Trust work boat.
Called Bollin? Bollin, think it is.
He's going down the locks too but he's not leaving for another half an hour,
So we can't share with him. Which is a shame.
Yeah. We're basically just gonna push most of today.
We're pretty much not gonna slow down or stop for anything,
except for maybe to go see the viaduct that's our friend told us about
Noah mentioned the viaduct, so we're gonna go take a look at the viaduct.
Hopefully not all of the locks are set against us, hopefully too many fishermen.
Well hat boat came up yesterday so hopefully they're all set. Maybe, we're lucky.
So we've got to get moving to find out. Breakfast time.
We've got to, Is this Stenson's Bridge? Stenson's Lock. Stenson's Lock.
and the erm... that's too vibrating.
And this is Noah's viaduct. Which is probably not actually owned by Noah.
But it's the one he told us about. So we are just off to have a quick look at it before we go down this lock.
You can just see it through the trees but not well enough to photograph.
So we're going to go up that hill over there. And it's just started raining.
We are now back at Barkers lock.
And.. there has been rain.
Not too much. But enough.
Same lock. Literally five seconds later, and its sunshine!
It's now really cold.
This is the seventh lock of the day. Greens lock.
I'm wearing Michael's Jacket. It's really cold.
Until now every lock has been set in our favour. But we've just got to...
the last one we're going to do before lunch, which is Gallows Inn Lock.
and the bottom gates are left open and the locks empty, So...that's a bit annoying.. but never mind.
Yeah, we've come down to... Well, back to I suppose you should say...
Erm, Ilkton? Ilkeston? Ilk... Ilks...
[sigh] somebody sent me the pronunciation and I still haven't got it.
We're gonna get a reputation for never knowing what places are called
Yeah. And, erm. It looks like Ilk-er-ston. But apparently its pronounced Ilkston or Ikston. Iston?
Anyway, somebody wrote it out for me and in its, kind of, phonetic and I'm like that looks right but I can't read it properly.
And we're sorry that we still can't get it right.
So we've done eight locks, we're gonna do another, probably five. And erm...
Try and get down to, probably Long Eaten where the Tesco's is.
We had some lunch. And its cold and its windy. And George got a nice good ball throw.
Ah.. It came off pretty easy.
So we were just about to come into Hallam Fields lock after lunch and
I pulled up to drop Michael off and then... ruined the boat...
I did a little bang into the side because I couldn't... like reverse just wasn't working
The whole engine was shaking, and then I tried to go forward and that wasn't working.
So I just kind of floated around and went 'MICHAEL'
So then I took the cover off the engine, looked down on it,
kicked in neutral, revved forward and back, it wasn't shaking, so that means it's not the engine mounts.
or something going wrong inside there would be really bad.
So because it was only when the prop was moving it was either the transmission had shot.
Or, something had gotten wrapped around the prop.
So to the lovely person that left a rubble sack in the canal. Thanks! Good fun.
But, its not bad. This is only the second time we've been down the rubble sack....
...the rubble sack! The weed hatch, in a year.
The last time was on the Thames in June. Yeah, for the most part we've been pretty lucky.
And this came off really easily, you know, once I got my hand in there.
This could have gotten wrapped up so much worse because its all nylon.
Its lucky I detected it when it happened. Yeah, you detected pretty fast.
So that's delayed us. Of course it was me that stuck my arms down the damn thing.
You've got longer arms, its only practical.
So that's delayed us for about half an hour. So lets get on. Yeah, next lock and onwards.
I think we've got three more locks to go... and we are just about to go under the M1
and Michael is back there walking with George.
So Jo had to give up driving the boat because of tiller-mans shoulder.
Its not tiring but because you're got your arm back like that
That's why I sit up on that thing all the time. Yeah, but then you'reup and down
It's just like, the top of your back, like your neck, starts to ache.
But eventually you build muscles. I'm not at that stage yet.
Which is interesting because since we've been living on the boat and
continuously cruising, so, 11 months. we've...there's been this ongoing discussion
about which jobs harder, and mainly stemming from the fact that Michael
does... has historically done 95 percent of the driving.
Yeah, historical discussion, as in a whole bunch of people commenting on the videos about why is
Michael the lazy one and Jo just tooling around doing all of this work.
And everybody's so impressed with Jo's walking ability. Yeah because...
I've walked a lot because of the dog but also because I haven't driven as much, it's
meant I've done all the locks. So there was this ongoing discussion, debate about
what's harder. Is steering the boat, or, working all the locks. And obviously, as
the one who works all the locks, I was adamant that driving the boat was much
easier, because you just get to stand at the back, chat with the other boaters
when you're in locks, and have everything, kind of done for you .
Uh-hu! And now you know.
No. I do think, that's doing the look is physically much, much harder without a doubt.
It's more work, It's much harder. But, depending on the, erm, situation...
the circumstances... the environment... what's the word I'm looking for? Reality!
Depending on the lock that you're driving into. driving the boat is a lot
more stressful because, like today for instance, there was a lot of wind and
there was a lot of overflow from the locks,
a lot of low bridges, and a lot of turbulence in the locks.
I mean it's not completely unphysical because I've got an aching shoulder from doing it all day.
But the mental stress can be a lot more depending on how easy the locks are.
Obviously, you know, the there is much more physical exercise involved in doing the locks, there's no question of that.
You're, you know, rotating things pulling great huge beams.
And they can be really heavy. They can be incredibly heavy. And the paddles can be really heavy.
Driving the boat is... still physical.
But the main thing is, you're standing out there completely exposed to the environment while trying
not to crash a 50-foot thing you at the back of
And then theres things that go wrong with the boat, like today we had the issue with the weed hatch so...
It's not just that you get on and have a nice little cruise.
Theres so many external forces that... that you have to always be paying attention to.
Other boaters, fishermen.
And you know, when the prop conked out and you couldn't go backwards
It's like there's these places in which... you think you're doing really
well and then you just get thrown off. Yeah!
And isn't it funny. Like, you see how much it completely throws you off.
But I think we are getting to a better balance. Because before you were doing
a hundred percent of the driving, and I was doing 100 percent of the locks and walking
And today it was... I probably did more driving than you did but, yeah and like I enjoy it
So, we're practically back in Long Eaton so the next...
We're not practically back in Long Eaton, we are in Long Eaton.
Oh yeah, we are. This is Long Eaton. We're back in Long Eaton.
Yeah but we're not at the Trent Lock. Yeah. No, were not at the Trent Lock yet.
So the next adventure is to head back out onto the Trent
Into the four way junction. And then down onto the Sore.
Which we were reading about last night and getting really nervous.
It's kind of a five way junction if you include the weir.
Yeah, I was talking about the navigable junctions. Oh, navigable junctions.
Yeah it'll be fine,
And I've checked, there's no walking route. So I'm going to have to be on the boat this time.
Oh good. She'll have to experience it for the first time.
So the big adventure tomorrow, Is it tomorrow?
Probably tomorrow or the next day.
Maybe we move on tomorrow, maybe we don't.
If we move on tomorrow, then its halfway to Loughborough just because of the current.
Yay! Alright. We done? Yeah.
Ma hair! Ma hair. Ma head!
Bit of a reverse, so its probably going to be pretty much the same video backwards.
Didn't I just say that? Did we? Ok. [pretends to talk backwards]
It's very windy, it's extremely windy. So we got to get nice and cozy here so
So basically you did all the locks today. We'll talk about that later. We'll talk about that later.
What are we talking about now then? Nothing, we are going. We're going now.
So we are moving on because we need a tauntaun to hide in.
What!
You know to stay warm. I might need a bigger coat.
We need like a dead beast.
I was looking at George when I said that...I don't know what you are talking about.
The tauntaun from Empire Strikes Back.
Uh... why.... we don't have Star Wars references. Oh My God!
Alright, are we ready to go? I was ready ten minutes ago. Ok, click the button then.
i just keep talking to you push the button.
That s***. That poop. That dung.
Detritus. Detritus! This stuff will take out our prop.
Oh, where are you going? That's not a good move. Oh My God!
The poo incident? No, we're not going to talk about that.
Michael put his hand in a whole load of poo. But we're not talking about it.
Which George put it in his mouth.
It wasn't that I just reached down and grabbed a load of c*** off the side of the....
