Middlewich to Anderton Boat Lift

Had a busy day today as we fuelled at Kings Lock Chandlery, shopped at Middlewich and watered etc at Anderton. We are now back on the Trent and Mersey on our way to the Anderton Boat Lift.  As we passed by the Dane Valley we also passed by the flashes where submerged wrecks of abandoned narrowboats lay. From Middlewich we left beautiful countryside into industrial areas, primarily salt works, which have been around these areas since Roman times.
