| Starting down the flight |

| Lovely view of Bosley Cloud |
We are on the move today and we have the twelve Bosley
flight of locks to do and the sun was shining so that was good We were moored just above the locks and there
was a boat coming up, so we set off to the locks so we could go in when they
came out and off we went working our way down the locks.

| Coming to the last lock |
There were several boats coming up which made our passage
easy as all the locks were set for us. There was an aweful lot of water running
down the locks which made opening some of the top gates difficult, not sure why
there was so much water today as when we came up them a few weeks ago the water
was low and some of the pounds were down.
We worked our way and after an hour and a half we were
coming out the bottom lock and on our way along the canal.

| Lots of bridges coming into Congleton |
 |
| Going over Congleton Aqueduct |
We stopped for water by Bridge 68 then chugged on again and
then we were approaching Congleton and moored in the visitor moorings which are
under trees so it was a bit dark and dank.
We had lunch then walked down into the town. We were hoping
to go to the Crema Deli again but unfortunately it was shut, so we just went to
Morrisons instead and then walked back to the boat.

| A snake bridge in Congleton |
It wasn’t really very nice where we were moored as it was so
dark under the trees so we decided to chug on a couple of miles to where it was
more open.
We went over Congleton Aqueduct and on along the canal and
moored in a nice sunny open spot at Watery Lane Aqueduct.
We are staying here tonight then moving on tomorrow, just a
couple of miles mind you!
