Monday, September 19<\/p>\n

We got up early on Monday morning to set out for Nantwich which was about 8 hours traveling time including passing through 7 more locks and under 30 bridges.<\/p>\n

We passed through a lot of farming country & the traffic over the bridges was often quite heavy.

\nThe canal narrows to just a few feet wider than the boat at the majority of the bridges we passed under, and the approaches to the bridge are often on a slight bend. As a result we have to slow down a lot and take extra time to line the boat up before passing under.<\/p>\n

Fortunately we only met boats coming the other way a few times & there was enough distance between us that one boat could slow down to let the other pass under the bridge first.<\/p>\n

Shortly after 3pm we stopped at The Barbridge Inn at Barbridge Junction & had a fantastic lunch & a pint, of course. The parking for boats on the canal is even closer to the pub than the parking lot for cars!

\nI asked our server for a draft pint of something local & she asked me where we were from. I replied “London, Canada” & the two couples sitting at the table across from us said “we’re from Stratford & Port Perry, Ontario”. They were on a narrowboat as well & headed back to a marina in Wales where they had picked up their boat the week before.<\/p>\n

It never ceases to amaze me how small the world can be sometimes!<\/p>\n

After our late lunch we got back underway & continued our journey to Nantwich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
