First things first after we moored up I got a fire going to thaw out! We only had a brief stop at Bridgewater Marina Services to buy a new gas bottle and fill up with water etc. It stayed dry which was a positive but I can not remember being so cold in May.
Being a bank holiday weekend we decided not to go into Manchester but have a weekend here at Dunham where there are good walks in the deer park. There are already plenty of boats on the move out of Worsley and Sale heading towards Lymm for the weekend.
Yesterday was a pretty wet day and we didn't go far from the boat although we did spend a couple of hours visiting the old colliery museum at Astley Green. The winding engine is restored and can be run but they have been vandalised and had some batteries stolen which has put paid to it working this weekend.
