Setting off on our summer trip

After 6 weeks at home we are out again. Our plan is to head north up the Trent & Mersey Canal and take the Anderton Boat Lift down to the River Weaver where we will spend a few days. After then - who knows?

We left our marina at 9:15, passed through Armitage (where Armitage-Shanks comes from!) and Rugeley. The weather turned for the worse with heavy rain and strong wind. So we stopped a couple of hours for lunch, setting off again when the weather cleared at 2:00. We have moored up at Great Heywood junction.
