Today’s trip was to check out the mooring availability in Nantwich prior to returning there one we are into the winter period when the 48 hour moorings become 14 day moorings. It looks as though it might be a bit tight getting in as there are already quite a lot of boats moored here. The current plan is to stay until Sunday then turn around, top up with water and empty the elsans then head back towards Barbridge until about Wednesday before returning in the hope of finding a mooring that we can stay on for about 14 days.

The trip from Barbridge to Nantwich was quite pleasant although there was a bit of distracting mist when we first set off. Travelling into the sunlight meant that the mist pretty much blocked our visibility although boats coming in the opposite direction tried to help by putting their tunnel lights on, the trouble was that by the time that you could see their tunnel lights you could already see their boat!

The one bonus of mooring at Nantwich  was that we got pretty much a front row seat at their local ‘Spooktacular’ Firework display, which was quite impressive.
