Sawley Marina to just outside WillingtonBackup crew here!
We've borrowed the boat for a while to give Bob & Nicola a well earned rest.
We have had a gentle meander along the Trent & Mersey canal; at times, it seemed very similar to the wooded sections of the Mon & Brec, which was unexpected.
It was quite busy at the locks, but the rest of the journal was very peaceful. At one lock, we passed what looked (in our ignorance of boating terms) like a double width narrowboat. Given the trouble the crew were having navigating along the canal, we were very glad that they let us past to share the lock with another narrowboat.
We had a nice pub lunch with Bob & Nicola in the New Inn at Shardlow, before leaving them to brave the canal by ourselves.
Time for a well earned beer!
