What better way to spend a morning than with good friends. After breakfast we walked down to bridge 30 and crossed to visit John and Gillian for a couple of hours catching up. Sitting in a sunny garden, with roses, paeonies, so many more lovely plants, a pot of tea and a family of swans – nesting peacefully. Thanks so much for a sunny patio experience that we couldn’t have had any better in the Med!
After saying our goodbyes, we returned to Jannock for a quick sandwich and off towards Wardle lock where we were 2nd in the queue, in glorious sunshine. We have been so lucky with the weather and haven’t been at all jealous as we watch jets approaching and leaving Manchester airport.
Out of the Wardle canal and turn left onto the Trent and Mersey and straight into Kings Lock that was being vacated by a Northbound boat. Then on up through 4 more locks until we moored for the night in a nice sunny spot just before Elton Moss bridge (160)
Tonight’s dinner was the left-overs from last nights superb Chinese meal followed by rice pudding – excellent!
Twenty locks of Heartbreak Hill tomorrow, ready for our tunnel booking on Wednesday afternoon.
G&B
