Access to the river at Farndon it quite good. The carpark by the old bridge is free and roomy. There is a small pontoon down a few steps, but plant growth and a sharp corner mean that it is easier to load the boat ashore, then slide it under the fence and down the bank than try to carry it down the steps.
The river was running a bit higher than usual from the look of things. The pontoon was submerged, so I held the boat against the bank while the dog clambered in over the stern, then shoed him forwards so I could reach the kneeling thwart myself.
A few moments were spent getting ourselves properly arranged then we broke into the current and turned downstream towards Chester
