Well having written an update yesterday we had no signal so I couldn’t post it.  We have just moored for lunch so hopefully this will make it on line.  Just come up the lock at Bunbury, a staircase of 2 locks.  We worked it with another 2 boats.  Us and another boar going up and the third boat coming down!  Not something we have done before.  So once the water was level in the 2 locks the other boat with us went into the top lock, we moved across.  The boat coming down came in with us.  Then the boat travelling with us moved across the lock so we could enter with him!  Phew.  Thankfully we all made it safely to where we wanted to be! 

Saturday 10^th August

Well we made it all the way to Ellesmere Port.  There is a big waterway museum there which we visited on Wednesday.  There are lots of old boats there, some of which are open for you to go on.  Also a row of houses built for workers and furnished over the period of about 3 decades.  The only way on from there is the Manchester Ship Canal.  We saw a couple of ships going through and they make us look like a match box toy!!  So we have made our way back to Chester again.  Spending one night in virtually the same spot as previously, just facing the opposite direction.  So we are now heading south for a while, before we turn east towards Middlewich.
