Happy Birthday Mo!
It was bright at 8am this morning but it was
due to pretty much rain all day so we set off for a short day chugging, just to
recharge the batteries. We arrived at
Adlington where there is a village with some shops etc so we decided to stop
here. As we arrived a guy that we had
seen in Liverpool was just leaving so we grabbed his mooring.
No sooner had we moored than it started to
rain! We did go for a walk after lunch
(in the rain) but thankfully it stopped at about 5pm.
Adlington is a small industrialised town with a few pubs and a scattering of shops.

| Goodbye Golf Course! |
 |
| Poor guy - he has a pump going and is trying to stop his boat from going down. |
 |
| The canal up here enjoys a pleasant quiet isolation in this lightly wooded area. |
 |
| Notice the side of the canal - not easy for a dog to get out of. We have just gone past two ladies and cyclist laying on the ground trying to get a dog out of the canal. We slowed right down and said we would hook him with the boat hook but the cyclist managed to grab his collar - I'm glad the woman wasn't on her own otherwise it may have been a different story. |
 |
| The properties here really don't have any neighbours! |
 |
| Mornin' |
 |
| It really is - the woman was out there cleaning the front....in the rain! |

| Looking down at our mooring from the bridge. |
 |
| At last it has stopped raining - the water looks pretty still too (9pm) it stays lighter later up here. |
