The weather was just perfect weatherm if a little chill. We wandered around the village of Wrenbury before Jacquie activated the electric lift bridge and we cruised along this peaceful canal. There is just a handful of well spaced locks to keep things interesting, that is until we arrived at the six Grindley Brook locks, three of them are in a ‘staircase’ and a lock keeper is on duty to ensure that no flooding takes place. Shortly afterwards we stopped just short of the Whitchurch arm and when I walked Duggie around onto the arm, memories came flooding back from our boating holiday four years ago with Kim and John, when we took the fateful decision to buy a boat. There were plans then to extend this truncated arm back towards the town centre, as it quite a long walk from the canal. Nothing yet has taken place, although, as can be seen from following website, various options are being seriously considered. www.whitchurchwaterway.org.uk
