On to the Trent and Mersey

Awoke to another lovely morning weather wise, and had a a bacon sarnie for breakfast and then set off, we did the last lock on the Middlewich and onto the Wardel canal which is the smallest canal on the system, about 100 yds, if you need proof the look at the last or the first bridge on the Middlewich and you can see the evidence on it.

Middlewich is another Salt works town dating back to the Roman times with evidence of this still today 

You could fill your salt cellar up from here ....

.

We then turned right and back on to the Trent and Mersey and our first lock on this canal only another 69 to do, we done another five locks through a nice stretch of canal and with the sun shining, 

till we reached the village of Wheelock where we took. On water and then moored up, our roast was in the cooker so off we went for a shandy in the funny named pub "Chesire Cheese" and then back for dinner and a quiet night.

Oops......we passed this poor boat that had sunk.

Wheelock.
