CtC Vlog 375B: Nottingham Forests
Added 2025-07-28 16:42:28 +0000 UTC(Released early and ad-free for Patrons during the early access period)
This is day 2 of my weekend spent moving narrowboat Gentian from Newark-on-Trent to Beeston Marina, filmed at the start of May. In this episode, I take the boat from Stoke Lock on the River Trent, onto the Nottingham & Beeston canal to go through Nottingham and then out the other side back onto the river again, to leave the boat safely at Beeston Marina.
Note: It stayed there for three weeks but as this was a couple of months ago, fear not - the next episode will be in about ten days' time.

2025-07-29 21:00:29 +0000 UTCI uploaded a pic of the structure over the weir to ChatGPT and it identified it as part of the Holmes Sluices, which is used to regulate water levels and flow on the River Trent. I also read that the countryβs largest fish pass was recently built there.
