Salt Union and the Italian Meal

Another damp morning caused a retreat on the early morning dog walk. However once underway it cleared and we had a dry cruise up past the Salt Union mine

where lorries were busy being filled

and then going to the top of a new salt mountain to tip their contents.

 

Turned at Winsford in sight of the road bridge over the entrance to the flashes. Slowly retraced our path back to Vale Royal past the mine, numerous fishermen and the council workmen removing the greenery from our mooring site.  Onto the pontoon to await next locking at 12:45. Then onwards to Hunts lock and into Northwich to moor at Town Quay and into town for a bit of shopping and to book a table for dinner at Guilio's an Italian Restaraunt Bridie and I have visited before.  An excellent meal as it turned out which we all enjoyed later.
