Donington High Bridge
On the south side of the road bridge, I am technically in un-navigable water at this point, but guess what - I turned back shortly afterwards for fear of running aground.
Here's a much cooler aspect

Approaching the A52 at Donington High Bridge
The barely visible signpost to the left of the telegraph pole has a warning exclamation eark sign with a notice below reading 'End of Navigation' despite it looking perfectly navigable from here.
Better safe than sorry though.

Donington High Bridge
The bridge was built in 1926 to replace a red brick hump-back (i.e. 'high') bridge, and carries the A52 over the South Forty Foot Drain. The white building on the right is the former Sloop Inn which, in the 19th century, used to serve barges carrying goods along the Drain https://sites.google.com/view/doningtonillustrated/pubs-inns/sloop
