Barbridge

Thankfully the 30MPH+ winds died down before we went to bed and we had a very quiet night. This morning the sun was out although we did get a few un-forecast short showers this morning. Several boats going buy in each direction before we set off and we met quite a few. The black sheep in the middle of this flock stood out. (This blog will now probably get a FB ban saying that)DSCF1619

It wasn’t long before we were in Nantwich and the aqueduct is still looking quite smart, loads of mooring spots along the embankment.DSCF1621

Passing the canal Centre this is the most expensive diesel I have seen this trip.DSCF1622Bit annoying there was no one at the services and we didn’t need to stop, if we had needed water there would have been a queue. Just through HenHull bridge to the north of Nantwich CRT are repairing the wooden fencing and have a work boat moored on site.DSCF1624
The Hurleston Lock Flight going onto the Llangollen canal is closed, nothing on the stoppage list, so now anyone on that canal is trapped. We carried on in the odd short shower to moor at The Old Barbridge Inn for the night with a table booked for tonight.
