No posts over the last few days as no EE signal. We have though had a few good sunny days which has got us off the Llangollen Canal. One of our most productive days had us cover 12 miles and go through 13 locks in 6.7 hours. The final part down Hurleston Locks today was in pouring rain. We again stopped on the Nantwich Embankment and walked in the rain to town for the usual shopping and coffee. On our return it had stopped raining so at 14.45 we pushed off for a couple of hours and tonight we have moored on SUCs moorings at Coole Pilate near bridge 83 just before Audlem. The Shropshire Union Canal Society does excellent work and provides very good moorings all along the canal. Hopefully tomorrow will be a journey up the Audlem flight of 15 locks but the forecast does not look promising.
