I don't imagine Middlewich Narrowboats craft often ventured as far away from home as the SSYN. And back in 1991 you didn't have the shorter routes via the Huddersfield or Rochdale now available (sometimes). So what was your route and how long did it take?

Middlewich => Derwent Mouth (T+M)  => Keadby (RTrent) => Sheffield (S+SYN) => Middlewich (same route in reverse)

Saturday afternoon 25May1991 for a fortnight to 9am Saturday 8Jun1991: the Sheffield late-MayBH-fortnight school holiday.

 

Tonic has ventured this way before 🙂 Compare postings 27Oct2021 and the next three, miss three and  then the next two. As mentioned there, it was intended to repeat our 1978 circular trip (Middlewich => Doncaster via L+L and return via RTrent) in t'other direction (and reaching Sheffield, to which we had by then moved house to) but the stoppage at Blackburn forced a rethink _sigh_

Seems to have plenty of water. Before the days of booking, and no assistance from BW/C&RT people.
