Here we go again and its polish and wax time. I did the port side about a month ago with MER polish and then a coat of MER wax. I must say that after spending nearly £30 I am very disappointed with the results. It has only been a few weeks and already the shine is going and the Oxidation in the paintwork is returning. So for the starboard side I am using an all in one polish and wax which I have used before.
We pulled pins at 07.50 and set off towards Nantwich and soon passed this sign.Well its NOT secret anymore !!!!!!!!!!! (The Hack Green Cold War & Radar Museum) .
What are you looking at !!
Moored at Nantwich and this boat pulled up behind us . Its the first Narrowboat we ever hired and started dream about retiring and living on a boat .
After a day at Nantwich and Carolyn having a good bit of retail therapy we had another early start at 07.15 and got straight onto the services . The plan now is to head towards Chester and spend a couple of days there ,but you never know what may happen on the way .
Not long now and they will soon be flying off to the sun for the Winter, sounds like a good idea .
“Oh look” said Carolyn . Its Hurleston locks which lead you up onto The Llangollen canal, which just happens to be one of our favourite canals.
The good thing about being retired and not having any commitments is that you can change your mind . So after lifting the fenders so that we didn't get stuck in the narrow bottom lock we head up and onto The Llangollen Canal.
Approaching Wrenbury and we come to our first lift bridge of many on the Llangollen. With Carolyn's ankle now a lot better she is wielding her windlass again
This is the lift bridge where the road crosses the canal in Wrenbury and this one is electric with flashing lights to stop the traffic.
Opposite our mooring for the night after a 6 hour cruise and its harvest time for a good looking crop of Potatoes. We will have a night here and then in the morning have another early start and get up Grindley Brook Locks which can be a bit of a bottleneck where sometimes you have to queue for several hours as there are 3 locks before you get to a staircase of another 3 locks..
Happy Days
