Litherland safe-haven

Thursday 30th June 2022

Another quiet night as long if you didn’t take the weather into consideration. Quite a lot of rain fell between dinner and breakfast time with the wind becoming quite noisy as well.



We set off just after 10am, once the skies had started clearing and immediately started meeting the swingbridges for today. a total of six to pass through before we make it to Litherland visitor moorings. We experienced a couple of downpours during this run but the showers soon cleared and bright sunshine followed.


 

One of the winding points we passed has obviously not been used for quite a while. We were pleased that there is no longer limited passage times through Hancock’s swing bridge like there was last time we came this way. The traffic on this road is quite busy so it took a while for Graham to find a gap to open it.


 

As we approached our evening destination we caught up with a wide-beam boat that had passed us very early this morning, and then followed them through the last bridges before mooring to take on water.

Liverpool link tomorrow and into Salthouse dock.

G&B
