CtC396B: Mercia Me!
🕑 Added 2025-08-19 16:58:59 +0000 UTCAt the end of the last video, I came to the end of the River Trent at Derwent mouth where it joins the start of the Trent & Mersey canal. In this video, I take the boat onto the canal and up to Mercia marina, where I'd be leaving the boat for a week until I could move it again.

Cruising The Cut
That would be fun! Although I have been aboard the RR before back in my TV days.

In case you were losing sleep over it: I believe that is the Willington Power Station. 😄

That’s a beautiful canal. Ross Revenge would be an interesting video. You could explore the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation, then at Heybridge Basin, switch to a rib on to the river Blackwell and motor downriver to where the RR is moored. I’m sure someone from the local boat clubs would organise it for you. What an adventure! Or is it just me?
