Audlem festival of transport.

Our arrival at Audlem coincided with their yearly transport festival weekend now in it's 18th year. Quite a few old working boats had made the trip. Saturday we walked the two miles from our mooring to have a look at the colourful armada.











Three wise lock keepers volunteered to help boats through on the day.
