We left the mooring around 10 am following a a plastic cruiser boat. We caught up with him at Higgins Clough Swing Bridge, lucky for the both of us there was a boat in front whose crew kept the bridge open for us both to go through. When we got to Wood end Lift Bridge as we were there first I opened the bridge for the 2 boats behind, the plastic cruiser stayed put as he was going to turn round but the narrowboat went through. Then as luck would have it at Turfield Lift Bridge a BW guy had opened the bridge to let a work boat through so less work for me.
Stopped at the sanitary station on the Macclesfield nr the junction, it is really tight there, a struggle to get two boats on and as there was already a boat filling up with water Paul had to do a lot of shunting to get moored up, needless to say with both boats filling up with water it took forever but at least there are plenty of water points on this canal its the elsan points that are few and far between. While filling up a hire boat decided it would be a good idea to Tbone us but super hero Paul averted the collision.
Passed these deer laying under the tree now what did they know that we didn't.
Had to stop under a bridge to retrieve this from round the prop certainly had more power after wards. Paul thought he might find the tyre that went with the inner tube or even the bike.
Made our way along to Higher Poynton and this is tonight's mooring. Tomorrow its off to the Engine Museum, think I will wait outside or may be not I don't want him in charge of MY camera.
Found this sign on a bridge guess who took the picture and it wasn't me, all the time he was faffing about he was swearing and cursing at MY new camera but once he got the hang of it he hasn't done too bad a job with the snap. I am not letting him get his hands on it again because he has been really abusive about MY camera. It is going to take a while to know what is what but does he take that into consideration NO HE DOESN'T.
Talking about Take That my daughter and granddaughter are going to see them at Wembley tomorrow they didn't invite me, cheek.
It is now lashing it down with rain so those deer were very wise to be laying under that tree.
