Work and more work

The past few weeks have been mainly work and more work. At least now the end is in sight and we can start looking forward to some travelling next month. My contact finishes at the end of May and then we will be off on our travels again. We have managed to have a bit of time to do what we want to do but it hasn't been easy.

We enjoyed a few beers and some music at the Nantwich Music Festival, paid a visit to Kathy and Co. for Scott's birthday and visited Ellesmere Port (by car) to see the working boat gathering on Easter Monday.

As ever our plans are flexible but heading up to Ellesmere Port is in the plan, so is going to Llangollen and also cruising as much of the Montgomery canal as is possible. Apart from that we might go back to the Trent and Mersey to cruise the stretch between the Macclesfield canal and the Middlewich branch which we missed last year. At the moment our plan is to head south for the winter, but that could change.

Since my last post we have travelled 3.3 miles and 4 locks

This year we have travelled 58.9 miles, 65 locks and 13 lift bridges

Since Ray retired we have travelled 797.2 miles, 707 locks, 55 swing bridges, 17 lift bridges and 25 tunnels.
