It’s six months today since we moved on board. Up to the end of yesterday, we’ve covered 864 miles and 575 locks.
This morning we had a few things to do in town, so headed off down the steps by the aqueduct. Nantwich was pretty quiet as it was still early. Among the jobs, was some food shopping. We got back to the boat and set off at about 10.45, heading for the winding hole to the south. It took about half an hour to get back to where we’d started, and a boat had already taken our space. We then crossed the aqueduct.
There were two boats at the water point, so we didn’t bother waiting. As we travelled north, we were gradually catching up with the boat ahead, who pulled over immediately before Barbridge Junction. We turned through the bridge.
When we got to the winding hole beyond Bridge 4 we turned around again, and reversed to the end of the moorings; there aren’t many boats here at all. After lunch we walked down to the marina to see if there was any news on the bungs we ordered for the portholes, but the place was closed; he’s also not returning calls. This afternoon I have been doing some writing.
6 miles, 0 locks.
