L&L Parbold to Pennington Flash 27th September 2015

After walking the dog and a light breakfast we got underway at around 10:45 and arrived at the first lock, Appley just before 11:00 where I was assisted through by another boat crew that had arrived as I was setting the lock. After Appley Bridge I was on my own for the swing bridge and remain locks although I did get assistance from crews going in the opposite direction at Dean and Wigan Top lock. From Wigan descending through the Poolstock locks to the start of the level pound all the way to Runcorn - no more locks until Thursday. After negotiating the busy lift bridge at Plank lane we moored for the night overlooking Pennington Flash.

This leaves a nice short 2hr 30min day to Worsley tomorrow.
