There are current locking times on Waterscape, but I can't vouch personally for their accuracy. It's a few months since we last went down on the river (and then we went upstream :-) ), nearly got caught by the heavy rain around when a boat got stuck on Sutton Weir. For pubs, go downstream to Acton Bridge and The Horns or the Leigh Arms, or a longer walk to the Hollybush - if you can make your first day a weekend day, the locks are open later. For rural quiet spots, try to get above Vale Royal locks or below Dutton Locks (although if your lift passage is a late one you may not make the locks in time). Is this the Virgo that Harral's were selling? Andrew ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.
