Lovely bright day. Little traffic until we hit the reed-beds. The short pound in Middlewich was suffering was silting up and some sluice problems, so getting across it was quite dodgy. Tied up between the first two bridges on the Middlewich arm of the Shroppie.
Running the engine a lot in addition to cruising to get as much charge as possible.
9.5 miles, 5 locks, 7 hours engine.
