The Erewash terminates below Langley Bridge Lock and above the lock is the start of the Cromford. The moorings we have in the stop lock are part of the now disused Nottingham canal.
A fingerpost unveiled at last years rally shows the mileage in each of the directions.
It appears as maybe things are starting to move on reinstating the canal. Planning permission has been submitted so watch this space butI expect we wont hear for many a month.
4 pm and the Easter weather is a thing of the past. Now an awful lot colder and plenty of showers. Thankfully the painting I did this morning had dried.
Wildlife today is all about the remaining Ducklings. Only six now as one was taken this morning by a Pike. Mum was going bonkers trying to see it off but to no avail.

Aww what lovely pictures and such cute ducklings I hope no more disappear, Free Spirit is looking well smart. xx
Looks like I might need to update my free Cromford Canal map available at

This is one of the fifty or so maps I provide free for canal restoration societies at

It was good to meet you and Ian at Langley Mill. I do enjoy reading your blog. We did enjoy our return trip down the Erewash. We were joined by more family on Sunday afternoon at Sandiacre - it was hard work catering for ten in a narrowboat galley. We are now back on our home mooring at Sileby and are busy planning a amjor trip in June.
All the best
Richard and family
We liked mooring in the basin at Langley Mill as the sun shon through the lovely clear water we could see many different fish there.
A fisherman turned up right next to the 'NO Fishing' sign, but he did let me see the variety of fish that he caught, including a Pike.
Thanx for posting on the progress on the restoration of the Cromford Canal, exciting times for you with two canals being reinstated off the Erewash now.
Thanx for the endearing duckling pics and FreeSpirit is looking fabulous too.
Ann Makemson.
Thank you, Barbara, Today (25th) she still has the six.
Hello Ann, That fisherman usually arrives every morning and can be a bit of a nuisance when boats want to moor for water. But saying that he always moves if asked. Thanks again for your lovely comments and I'm glad you enjoyed it at Langley. Xxx
