Last night we were a little ahead of plan and this put us in a position to reconsider the next overnight. Wheelock was on the cards as that makes us ideally placed for an early run up the Cheshire Locks to the Harecastle tunnel. That would make us virtually 2/3 day ahead. Needing diesel we stopped at Kings Lock Chandlery and were given fast and friendly service there. A lunch stop at the top of Kings Lock and then 2 1/2 hours more to Wheelock arriving just after 3. Wheelock seemed very busy and the moorings after the pub were all full except for the very last which pleased us really as we will not disturb anyone leaving early in the morning. There is a small convenience store just along the street which got us milk, awaiting a bigger shop on Saturday.
