A Very Quiet Day.

 Monday 13th  June 2022 in Leigh 

After the trials of yesterday, we had a very quiet day today. We cruised the five miles to Leigh (Lancashire, not the one near Reigate!), passing an innovative use of old lock gates on the way. The scale of them does bring home to you their size - and weight1

Sadly, the Waterside Inn had closed since we passed in May, but it meant that the mooring outside the Inn was very quiet. The white building on the left is the back of...

You guessed it! Not very far to go for a "few bits".

Gerry and Dean on nb "Polveithan", with whom we went down the two Poolstock Locks yesterday and who we moored next to last night, moored up opposite. The four of us went into the local shopping centre and had a coffee together. We had plenty to talk about, as it turned out that they live in Daventry, where M lived for fourteen years and worked in Waitrose there!

The rest of the afternoon we just relaxed - a real treat for us!

Today: 5 miles, 0 locks and 1.8 hours.

Trip:225 miles, 161 locks and 123.3 hours.
