Audlem locks

This morning we set off early as we had to tackle a few locks 13 off them to be precise, this flight is 15 but we done 2 off them yesterday, first we pass a  canal establishment "the Shroppie Fly " where the bar is an actual narrowboat, not that we had a drink here as it was 9.00 am so onwards to the first next lock, these went quite quickly because we were lucky that boats were coming up as well. 

The flight of locks lie partly in a shallow cutting with fir and pines trees flanking it sides, These locks drop us down 93 ft into the Cheshire county side, when we were on lock 15 the heavens opened.

So we pulled in to Over Water Marina firstly for a pump out (£16.00) and then we decided to stay the night (£10.00)as thought of having mains electric (£1.00) was to much of a pull, so we moored up and connected to the mains, then I went back for the car and brought it to the marina, we then rang my mum and had a chat to her she seemed In good spirit I then had an afternoon on the XBox which was great. The marina had a shower block so we made use of them which was great because even though the boat has a shower we are always aware of the water we use and are very economical so it was great to stand for 10 minutes under the shower, bliss.....

Speak to you tomorrow 

Here's a boat for my mum 

It's name is SKITTY KITTY :-)
