Grey to start with, warm sunshine later on. Down to the Red Lion mooring at Winsford. The end of the navigation is marked on the first bridge, by the pub, not on the second as Nicholson's guide seems to indicate.
The pub mooring was not very attractive, so we returned to Vale Royal.
Getting up speed on the river means travel time is a little less, so not sure what the effect on the batteries will be.
