Middlewich

Friday 27 June 2014 – Middlewich, Trent and Mersey Cana

A miserable day, we started off at 07:45 in low cloud which rapidly turned to persistent drizzle.  It was not enough to get soaked through but unpleasant all the same.  Patches of the sky were brighter than others so perhaps the sun was trying!

We continued with yesterday’s system as it seemed to work and today’s run from Rode Heath to Middlewich (17 locks and 9 miles) was completed by 13:55 when we moored up.  There were very few boats about although ‘Paws 4 Thought’ was just ahead of us for the last bit.  Graham and Beryl have gone into town while I’ve got on with tightening my stern gland (the one on the boat not what you are thinking) and this evening we’re off to the pub as Graham is hoping to do quality checks as we go along.
