Sunday 17th November 2019



After a lovely, morning with a thick mist laying above the canal, it started to rain just before we set off and did not stop until we moored up.

On the bend just after Croxton Aqueduct, we met the shared-ownership boat ‘Adagio’ approaching from the opposite direction, in the middle of the channel and steering only using the bow thruster, with the tiller positioned in the centre. It took some manoeuvring, but was a very near miss nonetheless.

After negotiating the Big Lock and the Three Locks in Middlewich we watered up at the Middlewich Narrowboats boats site before winding at Wardle Junction and again mooring behind Kenny and Sue.

Aaron joined us in the afternoon for a few days visit.
