Weaver to Llangollen

Yes the weaver was lovely and we enjoyed the time on it but it was time to come off and continue our journey, so lift booked and up we went heading towards middlewich but we didn't go far as it was around 2 o clock when we went up, passed a friends boat but no one was home, it would have been nice to have a drink and catch up again, we followed 2 boats up the 4 locks at middlewich and it seemed ages to get through them, there was also a queue at Hurleston when we got there, in fact 4 boats were going up the flight and they don't fill fast, we had better luck when we reached Grindley Brook flight only one boat in front.
