Have to say I do like the Whixall Moss mooring, out of earshot of road traffic and the only thing to ‘disturb’ the night were wildlife noises, owls, Canada Geese and a variety of other noises that I couldn’t distinguish. It is also a good location for viewing the night sky although last night the moon was out which tends to restrict the view a bit, I did manage to see Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune so that was at least half a ‘win’.

Coming away from Whixall Moss we seemed to catch a ‘convoy’ all going in our direction, the advantage however was that out of the 5 lift bridges we passed through, we only had to work 2 of them.

Not sure how far we’ll go tomorrow, either Marbury or Wrenbury would be my guess.
