Got to the Preston Brook tunnel just in time for the hourly 10-minute slot. Then on and turned left onto the Runcorn arm of the Bridgewater. First few miles much greener and nicer than anticipated.
Tied up at the moorings of the Bridgewater Motor Boat Club. Steve couldn't have been more welcoming. So, unexpectedly, we are staying the night in Runcorn. There is even a hook-up with a small amount of electricity available, and WiFi from the clubhouse!
8 miles, 1 lock, 3.2 hours engine
