Thursday night moored at Gurnett aquaduct lovely view up the valley . Friday morning  a bit of a damp start but soon cleared up and we set off to the Bosley locks Twelve all together in the space of a mile first job at the top is a service area so water topped up and all three loo tanks emptied , then down we go twelve in a row we have got a got a system going Hilary walks lock to lock while I have to sit on Sybil and steer , but after she has set the lock ie filled it and opened the top gates I get Sybil in then dismount , close one gate and open one bottom paddle at which point I have to jump back on as she (Sybil ) sinks down into the lock then Hilary opens the bottom gates to let me out then closes both bottom paddles and gates , walks to the next lock then the procedure is repeated , hard work.
Any way when we reached the bottom decided that was enough for the day and moored up on the Dane aquaduct

This was the view on Saturday morning when we woke at the bottom

of the locks as the sun burnt off the mist sign of a nice day to follow

The aquaduct next to where we are moored in Congleton for Saturday night ,we passed over this road earlier this afternoon  then walked down it on our way to the town centre  it has been a beautiful autumn sunny day , ideal cruising weather

Top sill of one of the Bosley locks see the size of the curved blocks  that form the corners nearly four feet along each side the design of these locks has been refined over the years and they are some  of the newest locks to be built
