Assisted passage through Atherton locks

15:48 30/06/2008 5.1 miles 11 locks
Lovely clear blue sky greeted us this morning, a good start to the locks. Arrived at the bottom lock at 10 to find Chris and Helen waiting to assist us through, they had kindly volunteered to drive from their nearby home to help.
Quite a bit a traffic up and down which always helps, and more water than when we went the other way many weeks ago.
By 12.30 we were out the other end of the locks and wishing saying thanks to our assistants. A short cruise later we moored in the countryside, able to sit and enjoy the sunshine (and the tennis).
