After morning drinks, we set off from our mooring and stopped off at Calveley services to fill up with water. The tank on Oliver is massive so we could probably go two weeks without filling up, but then it takes ages to refill so it\u2019s better to keep it topped up a bit more often.<\/p>\n

We soon passed Barbridge Junction, where Mum and Dad had come down from Middlewich, and Hurlestone where the junction to Langollen is; from that point on we were back onto new waters for this trip.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t long before we reached the outskirts of Nantwich, a small old town with some interesting sculptures such as this horse, created from the old lock gates.<\/p>\n

We stopped here for lunch and a meander into town for some shopping, including a visit to Clewlows, purveyors of some of the finest pies on the canal network, according to the Pearson\u2019s guide!<\/p>\n

Sarah had some fun along the way capturing Oliver’s reflection in my sunglasses. Personally I’m not so keen on the closeup view of my wrinkles!<\/p>\n

After our short break in Nantwich we continued on to the Audlem flight of locks, where we caught up with Casual Water again and moored up for the night.<\/p>\n
