Warren you can bunk at my gaff if you want but I live in sheffield,my mother in law lives in nottingham but she is 80, the stretches are no problem its just getting something day ticket or free to suit most tastes and with easy drinking/sleeping facilities near by.
For me that has to be priest house/kings mill near Donnington.
Beautiful bit of river with decent barbel and chub all through.
Plus the beer at the priest house is cock-on and the breakfast is second to none (but expensive)
we could also do the clifton bridge length, but it isnt very pretty
thrumpton has a ?40 ticket
clifton grove is like Iraq and the car parking is dodgy
shardlow is good but on a ticket
We could do the tidal but that isnt my strong pointfor venues
