| Kev's Tip Cap |
Last night, Kev finished off his second fender, a tip cap for the stern of the boat. It is really good, he is really getting the hang of this knitting, might ask for a winter jumper next!!

| In we go! |

| On holding moorings waiting for lift |
When we got up, the sun was out, but then we had a couple of showers,
they went over and we walked up to the CRT office and booked on the lift. Our slot to go up was 11.30am. Went back to the boat and moved on to the
holdings moorings at the bottom of the lift.
Waited for the lift to come down, two boats came out and then it was our
turn to go in.
 |
| Up we go |
We had to wait a bit for another boat to come in alongside of us, then
up we went and out on to the Trent & Mersey canal. We turned right and moored on the visitor
moorings. We then had a heavy rain
shower, but luckily it went over before we wanted to go out.

| At the top |
We walked up past the lift and over the bridge to the Stanley Arms.
Before we went in the pub, we went to the farm just down the road to get some nice
fresh free range eggs, then we walked
back to the pub and went in for lunch.
The food is really good and it is a very friendly pub. After we had lunch, we left the pub and
walked over to the Anderton visitor centre and had a coffee and watched the
lift working for a while, then headed back to the boat. We are staying here tonight, then chugging
off in the morning.
