Bollington Underbridge to Moore (Bridgewater Canal)

Night Sky at Bollington

Back past Lymm Marina

It was a bit overcast as we set off this morning and yes we did have a couple of rain showers, but nothing too much and then it brightened up.

Back through Lymm

Not many boats moored at Lymm today

We left Bollington Underbridge and chugged on along the canal and stopped at the water point to fill up.  We then went on our way passing under Lloyd Bridge where we stopped on the way up to get gas and eggs and vegetables.

Church at Stockton Heath

We went back past Lymm Marina where our boat came from and then came to Lymm and went under the Bridge and past Matthew Corbett’s house and past the visitor moorings which were very quiet today.

We went on for a couple of miles and moored up at Stockton Heath. We walked up into the town which has plenty of shops and cafes and restaurants.

Manchester Ship Canal

Swing Bridge at Stockton |Heath

We had a wander around and walked down to the big swing bridge which goes across the Manchester Ship Canal.  We got a few supplies and then walked back to the boat.

We had lunch and then untied and chugged on for a couple of miles and moored in a nice spot on the outskirts of the village of Moore.

We are staying here tonight and then chugging on through Preston Brook Tunnel tomorrow and back onto the Trent & Mersey Canal.  It has turned chilly to day so we lit the fire this evening, our first fire since last Winter.
