Thursday night was spent moored out in the wild on one of the flashs ( small shallow lakes caused by land settlement through which the canal passes ).Friday night in Middlewich and a walk round the the farmers street market on Saturday morning rather expensive though , it seems to be call it a farmers market and double the price .
Saturday night will be out in the wilds on the Middlewich branch of the Shropshire Union canal .
.
Heres a boat that is moored (resting ) just above Dutton lock on the Weaver , an interesting restoration for some one perhaps.
"Ouse Dunit "with Raggs on the rear deck keeping an eye on the locking up procedure .
Looking up to the adjacent caisson which contains a few hundred tonnes of water and a large trip boat ready to be lowered down to the river while we rise up
The railway viaduct crossing the River Weaver carrying I believe the West Coast mainline
This is the view as we reach the top of the lift from the back of Sybil , a guillotine gate with a few inches of upstand and a fifty foot drop beyond
