Wednesday we cruised up to Bridge 16 Bells swing bridge which would not work so I called CRT and they dispatched an engineer to fix the problem, the engineer arrived in 25 Minutes and gave one of the closing swing arms a wiggle and proclaimed that should do it and it did the swing bridge swung into action and we passed by. We moored at Bridge 15 Methodist Swing Bridge as there is a Morrison's very close by and we needed one or two things before heading to Liverpool.
Thursday we cruised on to Bridge 10 just through Maghull and moored for the evening.

flying kites I took a walk over.

The kite's shape looked familiar and they turned out to be peter Powell Stunt Kites which had been joined to each other, this brought back some childhood memories (long ago) when me and my mates used to fly the same kites over Foxhall Stadium they were the best kites you good buy back then and i wished I still had on.
Today Friday we headed off to the meeting point at Bridge 9 Hangcocks Swing Bridge where CRT escort you through right the way down to Salthouse Docks.
It's a shame that the canal is full of so much rubbish which meant I visited the weed hatch twice.
The wind was blowing quite strong today and when we went through the last lock on to the docks the wind really picked up and we had waves to contend with.
What a fantastic experience Sharon and I have had today travelling along these famous docks.
