Lymm To Anderton

We left Lymm Monday mid-morning after having a walk around the village, we had a fantastic evening the night before in the Bull's Head pub.

The cruise along the Trent & Mersey Canal was lovely, the sun was out there was a few more boats today and it's good to see so many people enjoying the canal's.

We pootled along just enjoying the view's. We approached Preston Brook Tunnel which is 1239 yards long and to narrow for boats to pass so its managed on a timed entry, on the hour Northbound and on the half hour Southbound so at 2.30 we entered the tunnel leading a convoy of 4 other boats.

And 1239 Yards Later The Exit

The Entrance To Preston Brook Tunnel

We moored just after Bridge 212 and this was the view from are window this evening.  Lovely

Today we made our way to Anderton as I wanted to get some information about using the boat-lift which takes you down to the River Weaver. 

We plan to go down the lift before we go to Liverpool Docks in July. We have to more tunnels to go through today one is the Saltersford Tunnel 424 Yrds long and Barnton Tunnel 572 Yds long.

We arrived at Anderton and I got the information I need about the lift.I then decided to wash Tacet.
