We had a lot
of jobs to do around the boat on Wednesday morning so didn’t set off until
nearly lunchtime. Karen’s most important
job was to prepare our pumpkin that we bought a week ago when we were in Llangollen.
After
dropping down the two Swanley locks we were met by Karen’s cousin Dave at the
top of the Hurleston flight. He and
Karen operated the four locks in the flight together…
We were soon at the junction of the Shroppie
where I turned left to head towards Chester. This must be the widest and easiest canal junction we have encountered.
These shots
were meant to be artistic. The fence is
round the top of Hurleston reservoir and was full of gulls apart from a lone
heron.
We moored up
opposite the pub in Barbridge and joined Dave and Barbara in the pub later.
Here are the other four locks we went down today.
