Anderton Boat Lift



Here I am Rune
Distance 1.7 miles
Total 1136 Locks 59 Tunnels
Running total mileage 1563 miles

A pretty short day’s cruise today, down to the poor weather unfortunately. Started from Hunt’s Lock at nearly lunchtime to get onto Northwich town moorings (a distance of about 700 yards!). Waited for the rain to stop then nipped into town to get the necessary shopping. Everything was done by about 3pm but since the last lift in Anderton Boat lift is at 3.45pm decided that we weren’t going to make it today so stopped off at the Northwich sanitary station to refill with water and empty the Elsan cassettes. We are now moored alongside the boat lift ready to go up tomorrow and continue up the Trent and Mersey. Hope that the weather we get isn’t what is forecast (Thunderstorms).
