Red Bull, Macclesfield – Thursday 20 September 2012
After yesterday’s efforts today has been an uneventful run.  We left at 09:15, covering nine miles and one lock (with a drop of 1 foot) and were all moored by 13:50.  This is almost the junction with the Trent and Mersey Canal and Bill and Eileen turn left to Swanley while Chris, Les and I turn right to go through the Harecastle Tunnel so tonight there is an “end of cruise” meal on “Eleventh Heaven”.  As we passed Ramsdell Hall we could see the Jodrell bank radio telescope dish against the horizon (it’s not always up) and at the stop lock when I started the propeller I hit a log that was underwater but fortunately no damage.
