It was another nice sunny warm day, so Kev went wandering over the bridge and up the road to find breakfast, he couldn't find any pigs or chickens, but he did find a snack bar in the builders yard and so we had bacon butties. We then set off up the canal. We saw a few boats coming the other way, but
it was fairly quiet. There was a lot of moored boats in long term moorings so
have to go slow past them, so that slowed us down a bit. As you come into Christleton there are some
willow trees there that hang over the canal and last time we came here they
were right down into the water and you couldn’t see a thing and just had to
drive through them and hope there wasn’t another boat coming, but we were glad
to see that this time they had been cut and the canal was clear. We moored up just past the Cheshire Cat pub. There was a boat moored up in front of us
which wasn’t tied up very well and everytime a boat came by, they banged into
us, so I knocked on the window to see if anyone was on it and a teenage boy
came out, I think I woke him up, but it was about 11.30, so he should be up by
then, lazy tyke! We asked if he could
tie it up tighter, so he had a go, but not very well as when we went back in
the boat, we were still banging. He must
have realised this as he came back out, so we went out and Kev pulled the boat
up and put the pin in the front at a better angle, that stopped the banging, he
was a nice lad though and was very polite.

It was a nice afternoon, so we walked up to the bridge and caught the
bus into Chester. It then rained for a
bit, but not for too long, then it dried up.
We walked around the shops, found a nice cheese shop, went into the
indoor market and had a coffee and a slice of cake for £2.50, bargain! Walked around a bit more, then caught the bus
back to Christleton. Went and had a
drink in the Cheshire Cat, it is a really nice pub. Went back to the boat and just chilled out.
