No.17: The Grantham Canal



33 miles in length, The Grantham Canal runs from its junction with the River Trent in Nottingham, to Grantham at Earle's Field Lane. Its route takes it near the villages of Cotgrave, Cropwell Butler and Cropwell Bishop, before meandering through Kinoulton, Hickling, Harby, Plungar and Redmile in the Vale of Belvoir.




Monday 4th June, 33 miles


Jogging over Trent Bridge, Nottingham



Through the suburbs



Overhanging



There once was an ugly duckling



Required reading



Green algae



Flat, fast, mile-marked...



Under bridges



Where's the water gone?



Lush



Landscape



Island



Herd



Old industry



Flying the flag



Time to refuel



Grassy tracks



Reeds



Bullrushes



Tardis



Belvoir Castle



Clearing skies



Lock



Lock gates at Woolsthorpe



Viking Way bridge crossing



Coming to an end.
