The forecast on Country File on Sunday had us to believe Wednesday would be rather wet and windy. Although not altogether wrong, it rained quite heavily overnight and there were plenty of very stormy grey clouds about all day. However we did not get as wet as I thought we would. We were prepared and put on our water proofs and we did use the umbrella between locks on more than one occaision but we did not get the soaking we expected. We had a fairly pleasant cruise through Swanley locks (2), Baddiley locks (3), Wrenbury lift bridges (3), and Marbury lock (1) and moored just past Marbury, again on very pleasant and quiet moorings provided by the Shropshire Union Canal Society, thank you.
Had a pleasant walk back to Steer Bridge and down the lane into Marbury to see St Michaels Church overlooking the mere.
Also managed a short visit to the Swan for refreshment before returning to the boat for dinner.
