We are moving on today only a few miles to Shebdon
Embankment where Tony of Bethsaida Covers is moored at the wharf. He made our front and back covers several
years ago and over the years have suffered a bit of wear and tear and also
sustained some damage when we were in Harecastle Tunnel due to us bouncing from
side to side in the low bit!

We set off along the canal and it was another nice sunny and
warm day. The canal was quite quiet and
we only passed a couple of boats. We went through a wooded section of canal and
then under a few bridges and past the old Cadbury Factory which is now
Muller. We were at Shebdon Enbankment
where at each end there are flood gates to close off the channel in case of a
breach.

Tony has a visitor mooring so we tied up there and went to
his boat to see him. He looked at the
panel on our back cover which was damaged to see if it could be repaired but we
decided in the end to have a new one made.
The front cover had a tear which he said he could repair so he set to
work to make our new side panel and do the repair.

After a couple of hours it was done and we
moved across the canal to the visitor moorings.
Kev was going to put the clips etc. on the panel so he set to work to do
that. Tony was very kind and lent him the
tools to do it and after about an hour we had a shiny new side panel all back
in place.
We are staying here tonight and moving onto Norbury Junction
tomorrow.
