Sunday 10th June. 1/2 mile
Moved down canal a bit. Time for a pump out and icecream. took on water and moored up a little south of Higher Poynton. A quick lunch and then off to Lyme Park. Did the walk we normally do. Up hill all the way for near on an hour. The reward was scone with jam and cream. Diana went to the house to check out what was a good secondhand book stall but it has changed and now not that good. Then it was the hour walk back to the boat Down hill! There was a bit of rain about so didn't think it worth going on today.
Monday 11th June. 3 1/2 miles.
Away at a reasonable hour with the intention to get to Bollington embankment when the overnight stayers have left. Good idea but most had stayed leaving one berth for us. So thats good but not so good for Dave and Angie we are meeting here. They come past mid afternoon and carry on a mile or so, turn around but there are still no berths for them. They sit alongside for a while as we chat and catchup before heading off to find another mooring. See you tomorrow.
Tuesday 12th June.
Dave and Angie have turned their boat again and come looking for a mooring with us but nobody has left this morning so it is carry on and turn again. By the time of their return one boat has left and they can fit into a mooring 3 boats away. So today is a meeting of boating Friends. There is us. Angie and Dave who we met comming out of Liverpool in 2014. Pat & Roger who we met going into liverpool arrive by car for a very pleasent lunch and chat in a local pub. Mid afternoon the car people leave us, Angie and Diana go charity shopping and the boys sit on the back of Dave's new boat and chew the fat for an hour or two.
