The Dane Valley

Weather forecast for today was not promising at all for the NW. Up and off to the Anderton water point after walking the dogs in the Northwich woodlands again. Both taps free no waiting today so soon able to wind and head back the way we came - getting to know this stretch quite well!

Although thunder clouds were all round we managed to cruise between them until we got to Broken Cross, at which point we had a short downpour and Bridie had to recover the washing she had just put out to dry.  On past Orchard marina and the site of a new marina being excavated and we moored up in one of the flashes alongside the (freight only) railway line between Northwich and Sandbach.  Not sure if it is still used.  No trains today but lines show sign of use and Network Rail gang working on it.

Another short days cruising, we have only done about 5 miles today.  Having difficulties with broadband signal hence delays in adding to the blog.
