River Erewash

Highlight • River

The River Erewash is a tributary of the River Trent that flows roughly southwards through Derbyshire, close to its eastern border with Nottinghamshire.

Tip by

3.05 km

I climbed over the fence (on the north side) and walked next to that for about 30 yards to avoid the sludge. If you're not into climbing fences, I'd suggest either wellies or avoiding this section altogether.
