Wigan Flight

It has been a very busy day up at 06.30 boat moving by 07.00 we had to get a good start as we were meeting Steph and Phil who were meeting us at the bottom lock of the Wigan flight for our two new recruits wanted to experience the Wigan Flight before they did it with their own boat though the weather was bad with cold blustery winds we made good time until lock 72, we had been slowly running low on water and with no boats coming down the locks we soon ran out of water and T 72 there was nowhere to go so we had to start sending water down from three locks ahead this meant at least we got a sit down lunch whilst we waited for the pound to fill
Arriving at top lock was a relieve to all of us
Phil and Steph now know that a long flight of locks is no problem just get a good rhythm going and stay at it
Noreen and I will stay the night here for tomorrow again we have an early start tomorrow as we need to be above Johnsons hillock as on Monday morning they are being closed for repair.
God Bless
