Ellesmere Port to Chester Zoo (Bridge 134) (Shropshire Union Canal)

Leaving Ellesmere Port

Weed in the Canal

It was hot and sunny again today, so we set off down the canal to Bridge 141 to where the Cheshire Oaks Outlet Village is, the canal is very weedy this end so we had to weave our way through it, I was lookout at the front, but not very good with my right and left, so a few times I said one way and I really meant the other, never mind just got a lot of muttering from the back of the boat, wonder who that was!!  Moored up and walked over the bridge to the roundabout, across there and into Sainsburys car park, across there and into the outlet village, its about a 10 minute walk, so really close to the canal.  We spent a couple of hours mooching around there, its really good and lots and lots of shops and lots of people.  We got a few supplies in Sainsburys, then headed back to the canal.  Had lunch, then headed off a bit further down the canal dodging the weed as we went to Bridge 134 (Chester Zoo).   We are staying here tonight as it’s a lovely spot in the middle of nowhere and then heading back to Chester tomorrow.
