Keadby Lock | River Trent Tidal Calculations | Canal Boat Ep 416

8

Location: Lincolnshire
Latitude: 53.22000000
Longitude: -0.20000000
Published: 7 Jun 2026

The Keadby Lock repair was slowly coming together, and it had begun to operate for about one hour twice a day. Because timing the departure now required the highest degree of accuracy, our tidal calculations for the River Trent were becoming crucial.

While we waited for the lock to be repaired, as issue with our canal boat’s fan belt held us back and cocked up our plans... We needed replacements, but without an address, it was proving difficult to arrange delivery. It’s these little things that can cock up your plans.
