Arrived back at our marina just before 4pm today, pretty much soaked through and somewhat windswept.
Had to wait an hour in the rain for someone to fuel us up before I navigated us back to our pier (we want the tank full for winter). Arrived soaked as it blew us down the branch for first four locks and then poured on us for next three and the swing bridge! Luckily the wind calmed when it came to reversing across the marina onto our pier. We left Lymm Saturday morning and went through Sale, Trafford Park and Worsley to Astley Green where we overnighted. Had a meal at the Boat again.
On Sunday we progressed onto the Leih branch through Leigh into Wigan and on to Parbold for the night . Left there about ten this morning.
Last few days have been a bit of a slog and fairly depresssing we are not cut out for winter cruising.

Lymm
Arrived at Lymm about 4pm last night after a rather windy cruise from Anderton where we overnighted near the Lift. Although the weather forecast had been dire we were quite lucky that with only one lock and three tunnels to do the wind did not hinder us too much. The rain mainly held off until just after we moored up and then the heavens really opened. we rocked and bumped the night away and I got wet taking Mac off for some exercise.
