Baoting May 29th, 2008
Two days today as I could not get a good internet connection last night.
28/05/2008 @ Chester. It was raining most of the night and still at it this morning so we missed the early bus from Christleton into Chester. When we finally set off we found our choices of return bus was limited so we got the 2.30pm bus back leaving only a few hours to shop for provisions and see the sights. Whilst in Chester we had a call giving an appointment for next Wednesday so we decided to leave straight away. We are now moored above Beeston Stone Lock. 
29/05/2008 Beeston Stone Lock to Wheelock. We woke to sunlight streaming through the chinks in the curtains and were ready to set off by 8am. We managed the broad locks by ourselves ok and got the technique perfected just as we left the last wide lock at Bunbury staircase. Had to wait for an hour at Cholmondeston lock the queue to go down the lock reached six boats at one stage. After that plain sailing to the Trent and Mersey canal at Middlewitch then up to Wheelock.
