Audlem locks - some off


Audlem locks - some off

The Shropshire Union is a very beautiful canal, well looked after with lots of mooring places specially marked - these are needed as the construction of the canal means you cannot get near the towpath bank. Think of a saucer shape made of large slabs of rock, only the middle is deep enough.
We avoided going off to Wales down the Langollen, not to be undertaken in peak hire boat season!
Nantwich we are sure is a very nice town, but on two visits we have not been impressed. And so after a night's stay moved on the Audlem. Mainly known for its flight of 15 locks, we moored after the first few and shopped and then the rains started - and haven't stopped since - or so it seems.
