Leeds to Liverpool Canal
Scarisbrick Marina to Liverpool
So its goodbye to Scarisbrick Marina.
Its been 18 months since we were last continuously cruising.
Here is one happy man.....
Yes we are heading for Liverpool and a epic adventure.....crossing the River Mersey.
First night mooring is before Holmes Swing Bridge ready for the assisted passage to the Liverpool Link.
Three boats going down today, Canal & River Trust giving us the "do's and don't"
Canal and River Trust operate the swing bridges as they are on VERY busy main roads.
Here we are at the top of Stanley Flight of 3 locks
Windlass at the ready...
more than enough helpers!!!
The first land mark is the Victoria Clock Tower
The old tobacco warehouse is now the Titanic Hotel complete with its own moorings.
First sighting of the iconic Liver Building.
The modern Liverpool skyline.
The old and the new together.
Waiting for Canal & River Trust to catch us up at Princes Dock Lock
Its lights on and straight into the tunnel.
We are greeted by the Liverpool Museum then its on to....
The Royal Liver Building
The Cunard Building
and the Port of Liverpool Building. These are known as the Three Graces and date back to when Liverpool was a busy shipping port.
Approaching Mann Island Half Tide Lock
Into Canning Dock
The iconic Albert Dock
Entering Salthouse Dock
Our resting place until 2nd May 2017 when
"Arkholme crosses the Mersey"
