WIGAN FLIGHT

[Janet S]

Anybody else on the forum planning to go up the Wigan Flight next Saturday?

 

Two boats and two crews would make it a lot quicker!

Moor overnight above Henhurst Lock on the bollards nearest to the Leigh branch junction. You will only be 2 minutes away from the first lock on the flight when you set off in the morning.

 

When I helped Maffi down last year it took us three and a half hours.

 

There are usually 2 lock keepers on cycles at the bottom of the flight and one at the top.

Hoping to get a team together to give the present Mrs Travisty a lift, 'old girl's not looking forward to it as she used to...
