Church Minishull (Middlewich Branch) - Hack Green (Shropshire Union Canal - Main Line)

The meal at the pub (www.badgerinn.co.uk) last night was excellent - more posh restaurant than pub food though, with prices to match...

A slow start today, the Middlewich Branch seems to be very busy, and we spent most of the morning queuing for the two remaining locks on the branch.

Eventually, we reached Barbridge Junction, and after taking on water, we headed south on the Shropshire Union Canal Main Line.

As the afternoon progressed, the wind and rain increased, and getting fed up with being blown into the bank, we went through the Hack Green locks and are moored up for the night watching the geese and swans on the opposite bank.

12 miles and 4 locks today. But it seems like more!
