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.
