Loaded narrow boat 'Mountbatten' of the Anderton Canal Carrying fleet heads towards Anderton along a length of the T&M which is cut into the side of the Weaver valley. It may be heading for Runcorn or Weston Point Docks in which case it will use the Anderton Lift to gain access to the Weaver Navigation which is 50ft below. At the docks 'Mountbatten' will moor alongside a ship & the cargo craned directly into the hold. Alternatively it may be heading south towards Middlewich & beyond.
