The area around Anderton Lift has a number of attractions for visiting boaters. There is a large country park created from old industrial workings with woods, and lakes overlooked by birdwatching hides. We spent a pleasant couple of hours this morning wandering and birdwatching - godwit, sandpipers and lapwings were seen as well as the normal water birds.
Denise and I are on our own now. Angela was picked up by friends yesterday evening after an enoyable brief but not uneventful visit.
Back to the events. I had thought that all our electrical problems were over. However it now appears that the reconditioned alternator supplied by Alvechurch (as they had no others available) has a lower charging voltage than the previous one and so I have some concerns whether it will provide sufficient power for our long term use. We can only try and see, but it is an ongoing worry.
This afternoon Denise took advantage of the laundry facilities supplied by BW at Anderton and cleared the bulk of our pile of dirty clothes. We should be OK now for the rest of our trip.
Apart from our various activities today, the weather precluded any further travel, so we are still at Anderton. Hopefully tomorrow will be drier and we can make further progress down the Trent & Mersey.
