Quickie

This canal from Calveley to Chester is absolutely gorgeous, but has two drawbacks. The mobile signals are very erratic, and the locks are a bare 70' long, although broad. We've stopped for the day at Wharton's Lock, about halfway to Christleton. There's no 3 signal, a measly T-mobile one, and a bit of Vodafone.

I've got some photos to show, but it's no good trying to upload them here.

We should have a much better connection tomorrow, so I'll stop this post now, and get a proper one done tomorrow, hopefully.

This afternoon, we plan to attempt the climb to Beeston Castle...
