Anderton Lift 1

You may remember some time ago that we went past the Anderton Boat Lift when we were last on narrowboat Stella?
We said we were hoping to travel on it next time - well. we've done it!
Here's the lift before the first 'trip' of the day.
 

Here are the first two boats of the day having come up from the River Weaver to the Trent & Mersey Canal.

First one out.

Second one out - now it's our turn to go down.
