We are moving on today and the sun was shining as we set off
along the canal.

| Passing the Anderton Boat Lift |
We soon came to Anderton and went past the entrance to the
Anderton Lift and stopped at the services to get water, etc.

| Going through Anderton |

| Passing the Lion Salt Works |
 |
| Passing the Chemical Works |
Once the tank was full, we set off again in the lovely
sunshine and made our way along the canal through Marston and past the Lion
Salt Works Museum which we visited on the way up and then the canal goes right
through the middle of a Chemical Works.
It was billowing smoke out of the chimneys today and didn’t smell very nice so
we were glad to get past there.

| Leaving the Chemical Works Behind |
We chugged on past Broken Cross and we were surprised to see
that where there is a sign saying a marina is being built but since the sign
went up a couple of years ago no work has taken place but as we went past today
there is evidence of pontoons being put in and an office being built at last,
maybe next time we past this way it will be up and running.
We went on abit further and moored at Billinge Green
Flash. This is a really nice spot and
very quiet and tranquill.
We had lunch and then it started rain for a change! Kev did a few jobs around the boat and then
we just chilled out.
We are staying here tonight then moving again tomorrow and
hopefully the sun will be shining again!
