Cholmondeston



Here I am Rune
Distance 7.7 miles
Total 616 Locks 20 Tunnels
Running total mileage 904.2 miles

Well, we’ve crossed another ‘milestone’ of 900 miles on the system, soon be at the 1000 mile mark. Fairly easy day today of only just under 8 miles and a couple of locks, say 10 ‘lock miles’. Started out fairly late at about 11.30am after, once again doing a bit of shopping, hopefully we should be suitably stocked up now for a few days.  I got chatting to the crew of a Time Share boat at the last lock who started out from Anderton yesterday (Sunday) and said he is hoping to get to Llangollen by Wednesday. Having checked the map all I can think is that he’ll have to be travelling at night as well to achieve that! With 44 miles and 21 locks up the Llangollen (and the same on the return) if he can do that by Wednesday it would be some sort of record. We would be looking at getting to Llangollen sometime next week, possibly. Tonight’s mooring seems good though, miles from anywhere and very peaceful.
