Proposed Ride-Out to Anderton Boat Lift, Northwich, Cheshire.
Sunday October 31st.
relates to Poll above
he ride-out will be starting as usual from the Hartwood, and will go south through into the Cheshire countryside with a mid way break for a 'comfort stop', before arriving at the Anderton Boat Lift just before lunch time.
The Boat lift has picnic and cafe facilities, and an exhibition that tells the story of the lift and it's construction. I suggest a trip on the River Weaver and a 'lift' in the Edwin Clark boat to see what the Lift is all about. The boat trip starts at 1:00, but it would need to be booked in advance. The price for the river trip and the Lift is £11.00 per adult, £9.50 concessions. (group rate for 12 or more).- river trip or Lift only available cheaper.
The boat trip includes a commentary on the history of this Victorian masterpiece, and you can observe the local wildlife and learn about the waterways from over 100 years ago.

Afterwards, another ride through the area, and back home for tea !
Interested ? Please 'phone Keith Bridge on Bolton 01204 533733 evenings (not too late, please) The more, the merrier !
