On the River Weaver

Most of the mooring places on the R. Weaver are out in the sticks where the signal level is poor therefore this blog entry covers several days.

Miles 16.4 Locls 1 Tunnels 1
We have been on two walks today one round the lake at Lymm dam via "The Dingle"

and one from our overnight mooring by Bridge 211 on the Trent and Mersey canal down into the R. Weaver valley to Dutton Locks. At the locks we had a chat with the lock keeper who was on "Extra paid duty" this evening to let a trip boat through the lock. It wll return later.

The view from the mooring streaches from the Acton Swing bridge on the left covering the River Weaver valley round to Dutton locks on the right and the view continues down the Weaver valley. We are hoping to get down the Anderton Lift later today and if we do tonights posting should include some snaps of the descent.
