Moored for the Weekend at Wheelock

Wheelock looking toward Kidsgrove and next lock in the distance.



Weather wise it's been a glorious week, and we are still basking in 27 deg temperatures now. We left Oldfield Brow on Monday and worked our way to Lymm, Tuesday found us mooring at Moore, and Wednesday we were in the country above Acton Bridge.

Leaving there on Thursday we stopped at the Anderton Lift for a quick look around, as we were mooring a lady walker who was passing spoke to Eiddwen in Welsh and it turned out she was from Boncath in Pembrokeshire, a mere stones throw from Crymych where we used to live, isn't it a small world, unfortunately before Eiddwen could find out her name, she had to run to catch up with the rest of her party. We left Anderton and moved on to stop near Broken Cross for the night. Friday saw us in Middlewich, for a tesco run and some of the best fish and chips on the cut. Unusually for us we moved on a bit on Saturday to Wheelock where we are stopping till Monday, this is to lesson the number of locks we have to do next week. This week we have covered 38 miles and done 10 locks.

That's all for now.
