Taking our Narrowboat on the Caldon Canal
Join us on our Narrowboat Dunworkin as we continuously cruise the Inland waterways of England and Wales. Living Off Grid.
Following a break from filming you catch up with us on the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal. Heading West, we pass Aqueduct Marina, Church Minshull Lock, Venetian Marina and Cholmondeston Lock before turning South at Barbridge Junction. We soon arrive at Hurleston Junction and ascend the 4 locks here. With a total rise of just over 34 ft (10.4m) , the first lock (Lock 4) we encounter has been subjected to recent major repair work undertaken last winter. The Canal and River Trust have built a hidden retaining wall behind the original brickwork as movement of the 233 year old lock wall, meant that passage for narrow boats had become increasingly difficult. Opened on 1805 the lock flight was built by famous canal engineers John Fletcher and Thomas Telford. We stop at the boaters facilities at the top of the locks before torrential rain stops us and we moor just pass Bridge 1A on the Llangollen Canal.
