Life's slow lane

These locks are in the Congleton area of Cheshire and I really would have liked to take a trip along these waterways on a narrow boat - alas my stay in the UK was already a busy one.  I'm told such holidays are very relaxing - apart from the regular need to flex muscles opening and closing the many, many lock gates! (If schedules weren't an issue, and I had supportive and fit travelling companions, I'd still love to undertake such a trip)

It does seem a peaceful way to travel and I'm sure you would see a lot of wildlife from the narrow boat. Maybe next time you're here.

Uh, don't know if my comment got through - tempting to do a boat trip with such lovely views, but those lock gates would be an issue:)

It's very beautiful there and the green is so vivid. Great post in green in time for St. Patrick's Day. Have a great one!

Wonderfully tranquil scenes. England's waterways are an often-overlooked national treasure.

I'm hoping to do such a trip in about six weeks time but on a section that doesn't have any locks.

O. I really love locks. We have a few in Sweden but far from where I live.

Those canals look so beautiful. I wonder how private it would be staying on them in a boat. - Margy
