Wheelock to Cholmondeston.  Still very windy but not so many locks as yesterday. Middlewich was the scene of despair and delight – the despair as we picked up a very large piece of plastic sheet on the prop and the delight was the visit to the Fish and Chip shop at Kings lock. A visit to the chandlery for a morse control cable and some loo blu concluded our visit to Middlewich. The new marina advertised in Towpath Telegraph as being available on the Middlewich branch is nothing more than a not very deep hole in a field with a sign saying marina here soon. Pictured is the Wardle Canal showing almost its whole length, its only lock and lock cottage. Missing is its only bridge which is above as I took the photo.
