The Road To Wigan Pier

Posted on 20th September 201626th February 2017 by Mintball | Category: 2016, Liverpool, September 2016, Trips

From Grocer’s Wharf to Henhurst Bridge No 52, a distance of 20 miles, 7¾ flg and 3 locks. Overnighting in the city was very different to the previous night out at Little Leigh. You’d expect it to be noisy given where we were but it actually wasn’t that bad at all : it was much […]

From Ladybird Moorings to Prescott Bridge Narrows No 10, a distance of 19 miles, ½ flg and 24 locks. There is no pleasant way to find out your portable toilet is full at 5am in the morning.
