GH Marina to Weston

Bought a new mooring line from GH Marina.

Phoned Ribble link office, who advised that the earliest date for north passage would be 23rd September, so change of plan needed. Will probably try to traverse the Pennines via the Leeds and Liverpool, since Nicholson's says the locks are 60 feet.

Setting out, went via Anglo-Welsh and bought a spare throttle / gear cable. Keith gave me a plastic cover he had for the Morse control lever hub.

Having set out late, only made it just north of Weston lock before tying up for the night.

3 miles, 2 locks, 3 hours engine.
