Day 6
06.00 - Well the start of another day! It had been raining in the night so it wasnt very warm this morning whilst Adam and Dave were loading their boats up again - the weather forecast says rain, rain, rain all week now! They Kayakers set off from Proctor's Country Park at Barrow upon Soar this morning and making there way up through Nottingham into Newark, hopefully arriving there at around 19.00 - hopefully there wont be as many locks as yesterday!
10.30 - The kayakers were one mile away from the famous Trent Junction where EMT's trains pass over on their way to/from Loughborough. They then paddled up to Nottingham. Cath and Corey met them at Trent Bridge where they had some lunch before setting off again!
20.00 - Arrived at Gunthorpe. They tried to get into a hotel because its cold and raining but there was no storage for the canoes so they have had to set their tents up on a nearby campsite. The weather turned on them this evening so its very cold and theyre soaking so they have gone to seek refuge and some tea! They've paddled around 32 miles today, making up a couple of miles from yesterday but still about 6 miles short in total. They had to stop for about an hour in the afternoon cause Dave got so cold and couldn't carry on before warming up.

It was so great to see Dave this afternoon. I took a few pictures on my phone(not the best!) but you get an idea :)
