Thursday 10th August
The sun was shining as we set off along the canal, it seemed
very quiet with only a few boats moving around.

| Coming to Barbridge Junction |

| Middlewich Arm |
The canal narrows just before Barbridge Junction and we got
through there as a boat was coming out of the Middlewich Arm, we passed okay
and then another boat came steaming out without any warming and narrowly missed
us!

| Turning Around |
We went on along the canal and after a mile or so, we were
at Calveley, we chugged up to the winding hole just before the Bunbury
staircase and turned around then went back down and moored in the visitor
moorings which were very quiet, only a couple of boats there, the last time we
were here a few weeks ago, it was packed.
We had lunch then went for a circular walk, up the towpath
to the staircase and stopped there for a while watching some boats come through
and helped out a bit opening and closing gates where we could. We then walked up onto the lane and walked up
there to the main road and on along there and back to the towpath.
We then walked down the towpath to Calveley Mill Shop and Café
which is right on the canal and really good.
We had a coffee then walked back to the boat.
We are staying here tonight then off again in the morning.
