Started the day at 05.30hrs. Top rope was frozen to the roof of the boat. We moved a couple of hundred yards to the water point unable to tie the boat because there was no flexibility in the frozen ropes. Nothing for it then other than to just hold the boat until the tank was replenished. Didn't take long and then we were on our way. Not really May weather. Long day but one with a purpose. More next post.
We called into the Aqueduct Marina for a pump out (won't go into detail on that subject) First class service by the way. Whilst there we took advantage of the excellent catering facilities in the 'Galley' All in all a fine and welcoming place to break your journey
Just reached Middlewich. The Kinderton Arms looked a little forlorn as we passed. left us wondering if it will reopen at sometime. Hope so for it had a reputation for being a most welcoming place to spend an evening
The village of Church Minshull lies in the distance and in the valley before it runs the River Weaver as it gently meanders to its ultimate destination of the River Mersey. Strictly speaking it joins the Manchester Ship Canal first

This got me to thinking. If I had a boat this would be the place to moor. It's a perfect setting and it's got everything. It's so good I'd probably stay on the boat and never leave its confines
This was one of the few days when the sun did appear from time to time. No time to dwell on this because we had destination Barbridge on our minds
Just passed bridge No 2 and soon will be at the junction where we intend to moor for the night
Our mooring on the main line and close to the busy road between Nantwich and Chester
