Wednesday 23 May,
Another day for recovery. Did eventually wash the top and one side of the boat. With that done the mooring ropes are attached and other bits and pieces back on top. Diana spent the afternoon walking the towpath the otherway to Whaley Bridge to do what Diana has to do. A three hour trip of which 1hr was walking.
Thursday 24th May,
The inside of the boat is now looking clean and tidy. In the afternoon walked up to Furness Vale where there is a Community Centre operating a shop, Post Office and cafe. It is only open for 3 hrs, 2 days a week and looks like it is the center for oldies. As we left Diana got talking to a local from Whaley Bridge and she walks down the tow path once a week for a cuppa tea and walks home again via a public path. We got talked into going with her which involved a long drag up the hill above the village. At the point I said it was enough for me. I was inticed to continue to a seat overlooking the valley below. By now it is down hill and we are at the half way point so carry on we do. From the top we can see a 10mile track we have walked before so I had better not be a wimp now. We Carry on down into Whaley Bridge stopping at a local farm for fresh eggs and tomatoes. Our guide leaves us in town at the ice cream shop. From there it is on the flat along the towpath home with a stop at Tesco's for a few bits. about three hours away.
Friday 25th May,
Cold with showers most of the day. The Eberspacher (diesel heater) worked a treat so we stayed warm and cosy until a walk to get some picnic food for tomorrow's adventure with Jim & Anne. Packed our bag, put the covers back on Molly and set her up to leave for a few days.
