Whitchurch Branch to Wrenbury Church Lift Bridge
No content or photos for this one.. but there is a GPS track.. 😉
Whixall Moss Junction to Whitchurch Branch
Time to move on – but first.. a run down the Prees Branch to Whixhall Marina as we need some diesel, and a full water tank would be nice.. It’s a little bit narrow on this stretch.. And into the marina basin..  I can see a spot.. but with these side winds.. this should be […]
Ellesmere / Blackwater Meadow to Whixall Moss Junction
We stayed put until the weekend – lots of work to get done, and we had a reasonable signal – but before we get moving.. it’s time for an oil and filter change on the engine.. Celeste.. Now that’s done..  let’s get moving.. Through Ellesmere tunnel and past Blake Mere lake.. And past the […]
The Monty to Ellesmere
Just about got a signal this morning to allow me to log into the CRT web site and amend the booking before the 10am cut off.. Set off at 10:30 to get to the lock.. working on the thought that if we get there early, we can moor on the lock landing for an hour […]
A run down the Monty to Queen’s Head
We knew that we were not going far until 12pm today.. as the locks would not be open.. so we set off about 11:30 – plenty of time to get to the locks before noon and hopefully be the first down.. Were we the first down.. no chance.. There were 5 waiting to go down.. […]
Pontcysllte Aqueduct to The Monty
I will be needing a car for the end of this week and a few phone calls have dictated that we need to go down the Montgomery Canal, as there is a hire company in Owestry and they will pick me up from Queen’s Head – so its a call to the CRT to book […]
Ellesmere to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
Time to move on from Ellesmere.. its been 3 days of rain here, with some hail mixed in – but that’s because Anna got woken up by someone on a boat banging and clanking about – waking her up..  Funnily enough.. the weather report is stating sun with mixed showers now.. but that’s because she’s […]
Whitchurch to Ellesmere
What a soggy, cold & miserable day.. So there’s not going to be a lot of photos on this one! (As it is, my phone’s bagged so I can at least still see the map and get a track out of it) No locks.. just lift bridges today.. Not doing the Prees Branch – that’s […]
Wrenbury-cum-Frith to Whitchurch
Another bank holiday.. another day of moving 😉  Time to get a little further towards Wales.. we won’t be crossing the border today though.. possibly Wednesday.. as the way the canal routes (with some of it being the border) – its almost like it’s trying to avoid crossing over from England! Managed to get through […]
The Barbridge Inn to Wrenbury-cum-Frith
Time to go back from where we came (or just a little bit)..  upto the Middlewich branch to turn round and down back past The Barbridge Inn and to the LLangollen Canal.. Got stuck behind these pair for about a mile..  weaving.. stopping.. bumping..  oh I hope there not turning onto the LLangollen.. And were […]
