A two mile stroll along the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal) from Hurleston Junction (the junction with the Welsh Canal) and Nantwich.
This stretch, particularly from Nantwich Basin to the Nantwich Aqueduct, is effectively one huge, linear narrowboat park slowing down progress to a maximum of two miles per hour, or in our case with "Blind Hannibal MacSlackbladder" at the helm any glaciers in the area would have passed us with ease.
Empress Narrowboats based at Nantwich Basin have a couple of live webcams covering this stretch of the Shroppie and can be found at:

Nantwich itself is a good shopping centre and the road leading from the aqueduct to the town centre is lined with pubs all of which seem to do good value meals.
