Hurleston to Middlewich Branch.

Setting off down Hurleston locks.

Ex-lock keeper Linda and her husband helped us down through the four locks, apparently she still gets withdrawal symptoms and needs a lock fix every now and again.

Back onto the Shroppie and passing the Olde Barbridge Inn.

Queuing at Cholmondeston Lock on the Middlewich Branch, as per usual.

A tad on the wonky side at Chelmondeston lock.

Dredging works at the Venetian Marina below Chelmondeston lock.

With the new pontoons in place. During our journey past here to get to the Llangollen canal they were removing the old pontoons.

We have moored up between Hughes Bridge No.25 and Normans Bridge No.26 on the Middlewich Branch, ready to see if we can get a mooring in Middlewich tomorrow morning to go shopping in Tescos.

Keith.
