Reasonable day, set off early to tackle the last run down the Llangollen through a couple of locks and then the final flight of four at Hurleston Junction. Mary had to brave wizzing out of the last lock and joining the main Shropshire Union going north by herself - as the Llangollen locks are not very 'crew friendly' going this way, there is nowhere to get back on the boat! We cruised on up and moored just above a lock to wait to go through and in to the services in the morning. We walked along to have a look and browse the Chandlery, casually asking what time they were open in the morning only to be told that as all the staff were at the Cheshire show, they might not be! Hence the move down through the lock, services and on for a couple of miles to a mooring. Just by a new marina being built, it brought back memories of Crick's extension, with heavy plant working until the light went and off again at 7am in the morning.
