Well, so much for all my planning. (See previous posting) The recent canal breach on the Bridgewater Canal is very unlikely to be repaired by April and so the short route to Liverpool is blocked. There are two alternatives to get there. The shortest is from Ellesmere Port via the Manchester ship Canal and the River Mersey, or the Manchester Ship Canal to the Bridgewater Canal via Pomona Lock, Manchester. The much longer route, which Pat and I did some years back was via the Leeds and Liverpool Canal all the way from Leeds. I would definitely not want to take on any of those alternatives on my own. So back to the drawing board.
