Coole Pilate Leisure Area to Nantwich (Shropshire Union Canal)




 The sun was shining as we set off from Coole Pilate but there were big black clouds coming nearer all the time, just hope they hold off until we get moored up again.  Off up the canal we went to Hack Green locks, there was a boat in front of us and one coming up, so waited for our turn and down through the locks we went, there was another one waiting to come up, so had help to do the gates which was nice.  On we chugged to Nantwich and the black cloud was getting nearer, we moored up before the aqueduct and shortly after it rained quite heavily for a time, so we had lunch and by the time we were ready to go out, the rain had stopped and the sun was out, so we walked into Nantwich.  It is a really nice town with lots of black and white buildings.  We did a bit of shopping, stopped for a coffee, then walked back to the boat.  Chilled out for the rest of the evening.  Staying here tonight, then heading off tomorrow, gosh all this travelling, we’re not used to it!!
