We had a very peaceful night alongside Ince Moss flash. A few walkers and cyclists came past during the evening, mostly taking exercise rather than journeying. The wildfowl were quiet and no boats passed us all night.
The nights are drawing in – how did that happen?
We set off to Plank Lane where we filled with water from the tap in the pump-out cabin before lifting the bridge and passing through. Two ‘well being’ gardens have been created by the car park in the service area. Lovely, just what’s needed in a well greened area, and were the gardens well weeded? For ‘wellbeing’ somewhere for boaters to dispose of domestic rubbish would be a little more appropriate. Nothing on CaRT waters between Litherland and Anderton, that can be days of travelling.
We pulled over at Pennington flash, somewhere we’ve been meaning to stop at every time we’ve passed but we’ve never had the time before. The cooler weather meant that we could enjoy a good long wander around the country park, visiting many bird watching hides. Lovely.
We then continued on to Leigh where we moored immediately before the bridge. Then visited both Lidl and Aldi as well as wandering around the shopping centre picking up things we needed. Back to Jannock to offload before heading out again to The Thomas Burke (‘spoons) for a particularly good steak dinner – rude not to on a Tuesday.
Good or bad, you decide, we then got slightly wet during the walk back to the boat.
