Anderton to Vale Royal

Cloudy but dry. Down the Anderton lift and turned left up the Weaver. Stopped briefly in Northwich, courtesy of the marina in the centre, to put a package in the post, and then continued upstream to Vale Royal visitor moorings. No one else here and very quiet.

1600 rpm produced 5 – 5.5 mph upstream and the engine loved it. Need to continue to monitor the effect on battery charge.

Got bitten on the leg by something last night. Seem to be one or two mosquitos around.

4.5 miles, 1 boat lift, 2 locks, 3.5 hours engine
