    The Narrowboat Journey continues. In this Video we Journey through the "Scarecastle" Harecastle tunnel and onwards up the trent and Mersey Canal.

    The tunnel is extremely low due to subsidence and I had to clear the roof of Badger the Narrowboat before entering.

    So low in fact that I had to duck while steering the boat or risk hitting my head. There have been fatalities in the past as a man was knocked out and off the back of his boat.

    After the tunnel we had an enourmous amount of locks to negotiate on what they call heartbreak hill. @millycf1976 is becoming quite proficient at the locks now after nearly a year aboard.

    Then we turned onto the Wardle Canal which joins up to the Shropshire Union Middlewich branch.

    We thenmade it to the Llangollan Canal and our goal of the big aqueducts of both Chirk & Pontcysyllte are nearly in sight. Just a few more days

    Of course it will be all up hill and climbing locks until then.

    But the scenery is proving to be worth every minute of it.
