I think there was a bit more rain in the night, certainly things looked a bit wet outside this morning. We got the washing machine going before we set off, and untied from our mooring at about 8.45. We were straight into the Hack Green Locks. The top one was full, and didn’t even need a top up. The bottom one needed just a couple of inches of water added.
As we went down the second lock a boat arrived to go up, so we could leave the gates.
We then plodded along in the sunshine, wondering what the mooring situation would be in Nantwich. I thought we might be arriving slightly too early to guarantee a space, but needn’t have worried: there was masses. We picked a spot on the embankment before the aqueduct, right after the boats already there. Since then it has filled up in front of us.
Adrian has been doing stuff for his charity trusteeship, and this afternoon we walked into Nantwich for a small top-up shop. I walked back to the boat while Adrian went for a haircut. The latest podcast episode is out, recorded at the Floating Market in Market Drayton a couple of weeks ago.
3 miles, 2 locks. (14 mikes, 4 locks)
