On the Middlewich Branch

We stopped for water at Wheelock. Such good pressure that the hose shot out and watered the cabin. But it still took half an hour to fill the tank. Only met one or two boats on the way to MIddlewich, but as luck would have it one es coming down the lock at the junction with the Middlewich branch as we exited Kings Lock which meant hovering until their intentions were clear. We found a nice spot for lunch above the second lock, clearly popular as it turned out. Then on again to the winding hole to get us in position for bridge 28 in the afternoon tomorrow for the Certificate of Seaworthiness necessary for the Ship Canal. Then on to Anderton and the Weaver. Returning from the winding hole we found a sheltered place for overnight to make the best of the late afternoon sunshine.
