Thought it looked like Coole Pilate, one of my favorite moorings though the new marina might have spoiled it. Did you walk up to the Shroppie Fly or is it still shut? Are you turning left at Nantwich or doing the 4 counties? Don't do what I did at the next lock and fall in. Shame about the condition...
