Saturday 6thSeptember
Arriving at9:25 at Middlewich, where we say
farewell to the SUC & rejoin our old friend the Trent & Mersey, we were
greeted with scenes of boating chaos! A busy place at the best of times, the
situation was not helped by the yard opposite the junction hosting a boat
show!
Still, we help each other out & eventually
round the corner & continue to descend through 3 locks, the last being a
broad lock, the first of many, many more to come.
Spotting a pretty mooring at Bramble Cuttings we
stop for lunch & Kellydog has a paddle.
Having contacted Anderton boat lift, one of the 7
Wonders of the Waterway system, it seem we can descend the lift at 5, moor
overnight on the River Weaver & ascend first thing the next morning. This
is not part of our route but it really HAS to be done!
Fantastic night shot!..
