So it goodbye to Scarisbrick Marina and a big thank you to Daniel and his team for all the help and support we have enjoyed over the winter.
First swing bridge of the season at New Lane - I wonder how many we will pass through this year?
Renovations at Ainscoughs Mill in Burscough are well underway - will there be residents on our return?
It germination time for the West Lancs farmers.
This being our yearly route out and back it is difficult to photograph something new- here is Parbold Church standing proud on the horizon.
Overnighting at Crooke
Crooke is the home mooring for Ambush - a original working boat from Ainscoughs Mill and used today as a fuel boat for us leisure boaters.
It was such a lovely evening I set to and planted the planters. The reflection is of Crooke Hall Inn where delicious home-made fare is served.
Onward through Wigan. This area is down for redevelopment. The iconic Trencherfield Mill in the background.
Should I shouldn't I !!!
For Poolstock locks on the Leigh arm we teamed up with "The Wool Boat" from Burscough. They were on their way to do some trading at Lymm on the Bridgewater Canal.
Here we are moored outside "The Moorings" at Boothstown.
My blog would be incomplete without a photo of this lovely house at Worsley......
or a Bridgewater Canal crane......
and the Barton Aquaduct.
The wheelhouse is down....
and the chimney is off so it can only mean one thing - Preston Brook tunnel and the start of the Trent and Mersey Canal.
