| West Coast Mainline Railway Bridge |
It was a bit overcast and rather windy as we set off from
our mooring. Harry sat out the back up
on the seat next to Kev and helped steer and checked the way was clear. There was some swans on the opposite bank and
Harry was brave enough to bark at them, mind you if they were on the towpath it
would have been a different story! He
also growled at some fishermen as well, not sure why, it was quite funny!

| Going under Railway Bridge |
We came to the West Coast Mainline Railway Bridge and I was hoping for a train to go over but guess what it went over when we were going under the bridge, not sure who jumped the most us or Harry!

| Lovely View of Church Minshall |
We chugged on for a few miles and moored up near Church
Minshall on the visitor moorings. These moorings are really nice as you can
look down over Church Minshall, but there is a shelf underneath the water and
you either scrape on it or bang against it.
We put big fenders down and hoped they would do the trick.

| Go Harry Go! |
We had lunch then went out for a walk down towards Aqueduct
Marina. Harry was busy collecting
sticks and running with them. We walked
back to the boat and saw that our fenders had moved again so we decided to
move.

We untied and moved on down the canal a couple of miles to
the visitor moorings opposite the marina. These are really nice and there is metal
piling there so no shelf and there is also benches and BBQs. There are quite a few moorings like these on
the Middlewich Branch and the Shropshire Union Canal and they have been done by
the Shropshire Union Canal Society.
We moored up and then it started to rain and it rained all
afternoon and most of the evening. Lucky
we had our walk earlier!
We are staying here tonight then moving on in the morning so
let’s hope the sun is shining!
