The aim for
Wednesday was to get onto the Llangollen canal – a new canal to us and
Chalkhill Blue. The canal was completed
from the Shropshire Union down its 45 mile length to Llangollen in 1804. This boat had moored near us overnight and
clearly has an owner with a fastidiously tidy mind.
Yet again we
had clear blue skies.
Each morning
we get a global message from a fuel boat company based in the North West. This morning’s message indicated we would be
passing one of the boats so we told them to look out for us. We met in Nantwich and filled up with fuel
and bought some coal.
We assume the
cows have large neck tags these days as so much is computerised, including the
amount of feed delivered whilst the cow is being milked.
…as did the
name of this boat.
We went down
the two locks at Hack Green. (Note the
two different types of stanking plank stores.)
This is Hurleston
junction where we turned left onto the Llangollen canal.
Karen’s
cousin Dave and his wife Barbara are moored in this area at present and walked
to meet us at the junction and help us up the set of four Hurleston locks. We moored up
at the top and went for a drink or two with them at their current local (picture at top). As they are
regulars the landlord has been allowing them to moor outside the pub for the
last few weeks.
Here are the four Hurlston locks.
