Here I am Rune
Distance 10.2 miles
Total 1156 Locks 68 Tunnels
Running total mileage 1677.1 miles
After yesterday’s warm and sunny trip I was rather hoping
that the weather may be improving, today’s trip showed that I was sadly
mistaken! It started out OK with warm sunshine but after a short while the damn
wind returned and the temperature dropped 10 degrees again. Now sitting in the
boat typing this up and listening to a gale blowing outside again. There is a
good chance that we may put the central heating on tonight and this is supposed
to be June!
If it gets this windy here I don’t know how bad it is going
to get as we start to climb up onto the Pennines. We didn’t come across many
boats moving today but then Friday isn’t really a day for moving on this
section of the canal. The next escorted passage into Liverpool won’t be until
Sunday so those wishing to travel then probably won’t go down to bridge 10
until tomorrow. Have decided that we’ll moor up tomorrow for lunch at Burscough
and get the weekend shopping in then head off up the Rufford Branch over the
weekend.
