See the boat

Just had a trip down south and met up with my pal Dave and his wife Brenda. The object of the exercise was to take a trip to Audlem and see the boat we were to hire and here she is

'Misty Dawn' with Dave carrying out an inspection!

Nice to see the boat and also meet the couple that run the 'Cheshire Cat Narrowboat Holidays' business, Linda and Mark - it's clear they know their business and it was a genuine pleasure to meet them

Here's their website: click to visit Cheshire Cat Narrowboat Holidays

Overwater Marina's a nice place too - Set in the heart of Cheshire countryside and close to the quiet village of Audlem

The canal gently passes through Audlem. Well worth a visit, this village has great character and is known to be a favourite stopping place for many a holidaymaker. It has a several shops and is an ideal place to stock up on provisions

A quaint and friendly place. Meals at the local pubs are good value and if that isn't to your taste there's a fine little cafe that can provide tea coffee and scones.The newspaper shop is quite novel because when it's not open the newspapers are left outside along with a trust box so that you can keep up to date with the news. A chemist and fish and chip shop complete the commerce side of things.



The church of St James stands at the centre of the village and has a charm of its own..

Records indicate a church was on this site in the 13th century

Audlem has a magnificent website and it's well worth a look
