On Thursday we headed south via the M6 to Overwater marina and were back on board Prairie Oyster at last. Rest of the day spent unpacking the car and stowing away our possessions on board. We did manage an evening towpath walk into Audlem and back with the dogs. On Friday the main objective was a trip into Nantwich in the car for a (massive!) shopping trip to Wm Morrison to replenish stocks of food and drink. Saturday I took the car north and returned by train to Nantwich walking final four miles along the towpath.
Sunday dawned calm and sunny and we made an early departure from Overwater, turning right onto the Shropshire Union heading into Audlem and the lock flight. It was fairly quiet with few boats moving in the opposite direction. Made good progress up the flight after quick vegitable shop at Georges food stall at the bottom lock. Fifteen locks under our belts on the first day out after our break we only went as far as the moorings below the bottom lock of the Adderley flight. Spent the afternoon sitting and enjoying the sunshine and then walked the flight with the dogs for a bit more exercise (as if we hadn't had enough).
