Lincoln to Leeds - Part 6

 Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation showing off its spring colours.

 The sun comes out for a while.

 The Vazon Swing Bridge at Keadby signifies the end of our stay on these wonderful commercial waterways.

 Back out onto the Trent and industry is still very evident this far downstream.

 Industry soon gives way to pretty riverside villages.

 The weather ahead looks ever more stormy.

 Yet more pretty Trent villages.

 A quick over night stop in West Stockwith basin to break up the Trent trip.

 The Chesterfield Canal at Misterton paints a very pretty picture. It is just a shame we are too deep drafted for this section of canal.

 Leaky lock gates on the Chesterfield Canal but still no lack of water here.

Back on the Fossdyke and almost home. The end of a fantastic trip is greated with wall to wall sunshine for the first time this week.
