Anderton Boat Lift - Going Up!

We enjoyed a good morning with a trip around the Boat Lift Exhibition followed by a hearty breakfast. We were booked on the 1.40pm  lift, which would take us back up to the Trent and Mersey. Another thrilling experience and this time we were all on our own. Sid had a but of a wobble as we neared the top, it is a bit daunting to be 54 feet up in  the air on the transom with nothing behind you!

It is very high!

Ever helpful staff once again saw us safely out of the caisson, into the holding tank and across the aquaduct and back onto the canal.

Now back to Middlewich and upwards to the Harecastle Tunnel, heading south and homeward.
