Ellesmere to Whitchurch

We had decided to spend an extra day in Ellesmere yesterday as the weather forecast wasn’t looking very good. Luckily we did as we had to find a dentist for Ian, his filling had dropped out and he required a replacement. Set off again this morning in more calm settled weather into hire boat madness. There are a lot of hire boat companies on this canal and it seems like they were all out at once, I know it is close to Easter school holidays but it was really busy compared to our journey out.
