It was a surprisingly long way to Middlewich, but as we approached bridge 26 we realised Stanthorn Lock was just around the corner and then the former breach site.
This was a major operation and the photographs shown here and other publications don't do it justice. You have to be here to appreciate the extent of the damage and scale of the works involved in its repair.
A big thank you and we'll done for a job completed on time and (I guess we'll never know for sure) on budget.

Onward through Wardle Lock and did a 180 in the basin and then back up again through the lock.

| It's disappointing to see how scruffy the old lock cottage has become since Maureen's passing. |

The weather forecast says tonight it's going to freeze, but I don't think the cut will ice over, it's been too warm and it'll take a few days of hard frost to bring down the temperature of the water enough.
