I now know why the Cheshire Locks are called 'Heartbreak Hill', not because of the sheer number of locks to work through but because of the awkwardness of a lot of the exits.
We set off at 08:00 to complete the rest of the Cheshire locks, we stopped at the Kings Lock Inn at Middlewich for a nice lunch and a glass of ale. I popped next door to the chandlers of the same name to see Steve and purchase a fan belt for the spares kit.

After Kings Lock we took the left hander onto the Wardle Canal which quickly becomes the Shropshire canal's Middlewich branch. FL is moored above bridge 22 on a high embankment overlooking the river Weaver Flashes.
