There had been some more rain in the night, but by the time we got up it was merely grey and a bit breezy. Over breakfast, I was surprised by how many listens to the podcast I’d had already had for the day, and it turned out there was a review in the online version of The Times. I knew it was coming because they’d asked for a photo, but I didn’t know when. This is just the headline and the conclusion — I’ll definitely take four stars!
We got a wash load going, then set off about 9.15. Much of the next stretch was just a meander across the Cheshire plain.
At Golden Nook, there’s a long line of moored boats on the offside. And I mean a long line. I counted them, and there were 111. And that takes a long time to go past at (just above) tickover.
We made a brief stop at Egg Bridge. I walked up to the shop and found it sadly lacking, and then it turned out the mooring we were on was reserved for work boats. So we carried on, and ended up at tomorrow’s planned destination of Christleton. We moored just off the end of the official moorings. We needed a decent signal, as Adrian is conducting interviews this afternoon and tomorrow in connection with the charity he volunteers for. His signal was a bit flakey, but mine was fine. Between interviews we went for a quick walk round the village.
7 miles, 0 locks. (14 miles, 6 locks)

I measured those moorings once and if I remember right it was over a mile
