Tuesday
We have moved on from Middlewich along the Trent Mersey eventually arriving at the Anderton Lift we spent two nights  Saturday and Sunday moored in a flash (a small lake that the canal passes through these are caused by settlement from mining ) as it was too windy to travel.
This morning we descended in the Anderton Lift and are now on the River Weaver moored tonight at Devils Garden .
Tomorrow we are going to continue down as far as possible till we reach the Manchester Ship Canal ,
the furthest we are permitted to go .


Looking across to the lift we will soon enter it boat and all from the right across the bridge and be lowered into the river 



At the top looking down to the river


Moored at Devils Garden Tuesday night


Moored up Tuesday night


Locking down in one of the big locks on the Weaver


A View of the amazing framework of the lift
we are nearly half way down .


There are two boats descending in the lift this time
at least 30 tonnes of steel plus the water we are floating in
