Wednesday 13th June.
The beacon (White Nancy) on the hill above Bollington beckons again. We have been told about different ways to climb up there. We set off the way we went the first time and got to the near vertical climb bit, read the instructions and realise they are still the same so take a different route which proves to be an easier. Still worth the climb but the weather is overcast and hazy with a cold wind so are not there for long. Return via some different streets and see a bit more of this quaint village. Return to a familiar cafe for lunch then back to the boat mid afternoon. Diana goes food shopping and returns via her favourite charity store. Third visit in two days. I do some prep work on patching bruise marks on Molly's hull.
Thursday 14th June.
Walk down the towpath to Dave & Angie's boat to meet up and take a bus to Maccesfield then Alderly Edge. Bit of a mix up with the driver who sold us an all day ticket that only worked for the first 3 mile leg of a 4 trip journey. Alderly Edge is the centre of the "Footballers Triangle" and all the footballers wives are said to give there cast off (worn once) clothes to the charity shops. Not so says Diana. The bus stop for the return journey is outside a Waitrose supermarket so I make a small and important purchase before catching the bus home again via Maccesfield. I do some paint touch up and finish the day with a simple tea of cheese and Tomatoes on toast.
