Leaving The Canal Behind | Tidal Trent Challenge! | Ep 417
We launch into the thrilling first leg of our journey from Yorkshire to Cambridgeshire via the tidal River Trent and the Wash. Tackling the fast-flowing tidal waters, we exit Keadby Lock one hour before high tide to harness the river's current. It's a nerve-wracking moment when the massive Keadby Lock gates open, revealing the vast Trent. How will our wide beam, Happidaze, handle the challenging currents and debris with her hydraulic steering, something Jamie has been concerned about. From navigating tight bends to spotting a majestic barn owl and dreaming of riverside mansions, this episode features beautiful scenery, essential boating tips, and the excitement of a grand British waterway expedition. Will we make it to Gainsborough precisely as the tide turns, allowing for a perfect mooring? Or will the Trent throw us a curveball?
