Wednesday 16th August
We are moving up to the moorings near the Middlewich Junction this morning and
staying there for a couple of days.

| Waiting for the lock to fill |
At least it is dry again today as we set off but rather
cloudy, perhaps the sun will shine later!
 |
| Out we go |
We came to Stanthorne Lock which is a deep lock over
11ft. It was empty so I filled it up and
then Kev brought the boat in. We opened
the paddles and down we went. I then
opened one gate and had to climb up over the beam to get over onto the little
bridge over the lock top open the gate on the other side, luckily Kev didn’t
have a camera so that was a bit of luck!

| That was a deep lock! |
We chugged on from the lock and moored up in the visitor
moorings a bit before the Junction.
 |
| Maggie Finns Tea Room |
We chilled out for a bit then had a walk into town.
After we were done with the shops we went down to the canal
where there is a nice tea rooms called Maggie Finns by Middlewich Narrow Boats
and it has a lovely garden overlooking the canal, its almost like a secret
garden as it is raised above the canal and people walking by don’t realise you
are there!
We are staying here in Middlewich for a few days now.
