Tuesday and Wednesday we stayed put in Nantwich and did some food
shopping and went for a few walks and did a few jobs. Our batteries are now at the end of their
life and not holding their charge so we need to get new ones. There is a chap who lives in the cottage at
the locks on the Llangollen canal and own the hire boats at Overwater Marina,
he is a marine engineer so we ordered some batteries from him. We arranged to meet him at Marsh Lane Bridge which
is not far from where we are moored on Thursday at 9.30am.

Thursday – We got up, got ready and set off along the canal, over the
aqueduct and passed the moored boats and moored up just before Marsh Lane Bridge.

Well it got to 10.45am and no
sign of the batteries being delivered so Kev gave him a ring and he said he was
running late and didn’t seem sorry at all and didn’t even say how much longer
he would be until Kev asked him, he then said oh at least another hour. It came across that he wasn’t bothered about
selling us the batteries so we told him we weren’t going to wait around and we
cancelled the order, he just said okay, which was a pity as we were going to
use him for an engine service but perhaps he would have let us down with that as
well, maybe things happen for a reason.

| Under we go |
We untied and set off along the canal, under a few bridges and then came
to Hack Green Locks. There was a few
boats coming down so our passage up the two locks was easy and quick as I had
help from the other boaters.

| Yes, can I help you!! |
We chugged on and moored up at Coole Pilate Leisure area, this is a
lovely open quiet spot to moor.
We are staying here until Saturday when we will move down to Bridge 80
by the marina.
