Today we continued our journey towards the junction with the Shroppie at Hurleston.
The day didn't start very well, I had walked down to prepare the lock while Ray untied Morgana, unfortunately he got overtaken by a hire boat while he was doing it so I had prepared the lock for them. I wasn't impressed at having to do the first lock of the day twice!
After that things went fairly smoothly, a bit slow because there were lots of boats on the move but we arrived at Hurleston late afternoon, decided to call it a day and go down through the Hurleston Locks tomorrow morning. Chris, who we travelled with last summer and bought Merlin from, is moored at the bottom of the flight, so it will be time for coffee and a catch up tomorrow morning. He is heading for Chester before turning round and going up the Llangollen.
Today's journey 10.3 miles, 8 locks and 2 lift bridges.
This year we have travelled 230.2 miles, 148 locks, 31 lift bridges and 6 tunnels
Since Ray retired we have travelled 968.6 miles, 793 locks, 55 swing bridges, 35 lift bridges and 31 tunnels
