Grounding or Weed?

Our initial plan for this coming long weekend had been to head out onto the Trent and onto West Stockwith. We had chosen West Stockwith as the run down there has less sunken hazards to avoid and with the continuing dry spell of weather water levels on the Trent are still very low. However with reports from several boaters running aground on the stretch from Torksey to West Stockwith we are starting to rethink our plans again.

Should we just head down the Witham instead?

It has been a while since we last had a few days just milling around with no destination intended. Coming and going as we please. But what about the weed?

The Witham is always weedy at this time of year and this year is no exception. In fact this year is one of the worst for a while due to the low river flows and the warm weather.

So the choice we are up against is running the risk of running aground on the Trent or battle with the weed on the Witham?
