After a nice lazy day off yesterday, including a superb steak bbq (compliments to the chef!) we set off this morning for Middlewich. Another beautiful day (can’t believe it’s only April). This is a lovely rural canal, with beautiful views all around due to the often quite high embankments, carrying you high above the valley of the River Weaver, and we had a very picuresque morning’s cruising. We have moored just before Stanthorn Lock, just short of Middlewich itself.
The village of Church Minshull in the distance
Jacobean style house beside Bridge 14
Converted canal horse stables, between bridges 18 and 19, lovingly converted into dwellings after years lying derelict
Cottage adjacent the stables
Top Flash – a subsidence induced lake beside the River Weaver
Our mooring, with Rog having got his tackle out (!)
Spotted just as I was finishing writing the blog, a proper little Easter duckling, all fluffy and yellow among it’s more dowdy siblings – all together now - Ahhhh
7.4 miles and 2 locks
