After
the rain comes – showers!
We
had a prompt start and took the short hop to Wigan Lock. Being an
eager beaver, instead of getting services at the top, I decided to do
this at the bottom.Our downhill locking was uneventful, passing 2 single and a pair, most of the lower locks were in our favour, though a few leaked so badly this was no advantage.

Having
got to the bottom of the 21 locks, we turned and reversed to the
Services. How useless were these – the water point being hidden in
the toilet bock and beyond our lengthy hose. I now wish I had got the water on at the top!
