Join me, Louise, aboard Narrowboat Changing Pace as we finally set off after weeks of being moored due to flooding. Starting from Eckington Bridge, we navigate through the aftermath of the flood and head towards Nufford Lock. The water level indicators are halfway down amber, and with the assurance from the Avon Navigation Trust, we cautiously venture into the strong current of the River Avon. Our Barrus Shire engine battles against the forceful flow as we navigate the swan neck turn, encountering unpredictable currents that list our boat into daring leans. Along the way, we encounter an unexpected chase from a herd of sheep, adding to the adventure! However, we also face challenges with the force of the water and wind, leading to frustration at Nufford Lock. Join me as I share the highs and lows of cruising on a post-flood River Avon, from battling currents to unexpected encounters, all while navigating the challenges of boating after flooding.
