Nantwich to Hack Green



Austins Coffee Shop
Replica of General Store
Going over Nantwich Aqueduct
We are on the move today but we decided to wait until the afternoon as the forecast for this morning was rain and they were right.   We walked into the shops in the dry but soon it was raining although it didn’t last for too long.  We walked around the shops and then had a coffee in Austin’s which is part of Welch the Butchers.  It is a nice coffee shop old worlde and they have reproduced an old general store at the front of the coffee shop.
Hack Green Locks
We then walked back to the boat and had our lunch.

After lunch the sun was shining, so we set off from our mooring and stopped at the services to get water.

We then chugged on along the canal and over Nantwich Aqueduct and on our way.

Uhooh Trouble on Bridge!!
Our friend Dave
Hack Green Top Lock
After a couple of miles, we came to Hack Green Locks, there are two locks here.  We got through the first lock and then as we were coming into the second lock, we saw a van on the bridge and heard a voice and guess who, it was our friend Dave.  He stopped for a chat on his way to a cup of tea, now there’s a surprise!!, it was lovely to see him and we will be seeing him and our other Audlem friends at the weekend so looking forward to that.

We got through the second lock and moored up just after.  We got here in the dry as well so that was lucky, it can rain now, we don’t mind!



We are staying here tonight then off to Audlem tomorrow.
