We are staying put today and just as well as it rained all
morning. It did ease off a bit so we
walked up to Tesco but they still had no power so we walked on into Whaley
Bridge and went to the Co-op there. It
didn’t stop raining the whole time and even got a bit heavier so I was glad
when we got back to the boat.

We dried out for a bit then walked up to the Navigation Pub
which is in the basin. It is a very old
pub and was there when the basin was fully working. It is the oldest still-inhabited building
within the site. Originally a farm, it
became a public house for boatmen in the early part of the 19th
Century.

It is a lovely pub and we had lunch, which was really good
and huge portions, well I suppose we are up North now where they are very
generous!
It was still raining when we left the pub and so we hot
footed it back to the boat. We will just
chill out for the rest of the day and hopefully the sun will be shining
tomorrow and we can chug on.
