Harnser's present position  http://tinyurl.com/Harnser-s-route


A late start today with very overcast weather as we walked the dog from
the second lock, round by the church and back through the town. We noted
that The Bridge pub is offering WiFi internet access, also that the new
canal side homes have the pub carpark and pub between them and the cut.
We set off as a couple of boats were coming up the locks so things
worked well, with the same thing happening at Baddington. Along this
stretch BW are cutting the undergrowth around the bridge holes.
Nantwich was very busy with lots of moored boats, we carried on to
Hurleston Junction where we turned left  up the Llangollen canal, there
was one boat waiting to go up and one just coming out of the bottom lock.
The waiting boat went up and then we had a good flow of one for one and
did the 4 locks in 20 minuets. At the top of the locks we picked up a
leaflet from the Shropshire Union Canal Society that lists all the rural
moorings that they have sponsored. It wasn't long before the rain
started, not heavily but enough to need a coat on. We carried on up
through Wenbury and moored for the night just above the old lift bridge
by the nurseries.
