Fun and games at Hurleston locks this morning, No.2 lock top gates were leaking so badly I was refusing to go down, but with some help from the boater in front of us we managed to get the obstruction moved that was stopping the gate from shutting. In the meantime boats were stacking up and all over the place, but finally got through the locks, and back onto the Shroppie for a short distance then turned onto the Middlewich branch. Now moored before Weaver's Bank Bridge No.18 on the Middlewich branch.
9 miles 6 locks, in 4hrs 30mins. what3words ///saying.distanced.grass 😊
