| Going over Nantwich Aqueduct |
We are moving on today but as usual not very far, just a few
miles and the sun is shining today so that’s good.
We left our mooring and headed up the canal over Nantiwich
Aqueduct and on along the canal.

| A pair of working boats mooored up |
 |
| In the first of Hack Locks |
After a couple of miles we came to Hack Green Locks, these
are a flight of two and not very deep. There was a boat coming down so they
came out and we went in and were soon going onto the next one where there was
about six boats waiting to come down so we had an easy passage through.
 |
| Nearly up |
We chugged on and soon we were at Coole Pilate Leisure Area
which is a really nice place to moor as there are picnic tables and barbecue
facilities all courtesy of the Shropshire Union Canal Society so we moored up
there.

| There are two locks in this flight |

We had lunch then went for a walk down the towpath to Bridge
80 and walked into Overwater Marina. It
is a nice walk about a mile and a half each way. This is a very nice marina which has a Chandlery
and a café, so we had a look around and then went for a coffee and sat by the
water watching a few boat go by.
It was a lovely sunny evening so we sat outside on the
picnic tables. We are staying here
tonight then chugging on to Audlem tomorrow where our friends live so we are
looking forward to seeing them and spending a few days there.
