Grindley Brook Locks



Here I am Rune
Distance 5.4 miles
Total 630 Locks 20 Tunnels
Running total mileage 924.1miles

Went back to the chandlery at Nantwich to replace the broken back door lock, unfortunately they didn’t have a brass lock, only a chrome one so have had to buy that as a temporary measure and get a brass one when we can. The guy in the chandlery said he will order some in and I told him that we’d probably be back at the end of the month or beginning of next month.
The day’s cruise was relatively quiet, I was expecting to see more hire boats returning towards their bases but it wasn’t really the case. As planned we got as far as Grindley Brook series of locks and would have continued on to Whitchurch but for the fact that the stop solenoid decided to play up again necessitating a delay to fix it, by the time that was done we decided it wasn’t worth moving on today and would leave Whitchurch until tomorrow.
