Whitchurch



Here I am Rune
Distance 1.5 miles
Total 636 Locks 20 Tunnels
Running total mileage 925.6miles

Another fairly light day again today, becoming something of a recurrent theme here, just 1.5 miles but we have done 6 locks in that distance. The Grindley Brook staircase went pretty well although the by-weirs on some of the locks were fairly strong pushing the boat off line as I approached the locks. Went into Whitchurch to complete the weekend shop, pleasant town with a decent selection of shops (proper bakery, proper butcher, etc).

Not quite sure where we’ll head for tomorrow, possibly the Preece Branch down to Whixall.
