A bit on the hot side today, or even a lot on the hot side today. Despite that we made pretty good progress from Middlewich to Wheelock Wharf which I’d expected us to take about about 4 hours and 30 minutes (and the route planner also estimated at 4 hours) when we in fact did it in 3 hours and 25 minutes. I’m not sure why or how we managed it so quickly in the heat, even the locks were set against us.

From here onwards there are 24 locks taking us up to Harecastle Tunnel, haven’t decided what day we’ll be doing it, it’s going to depend upon the weather.
