Slept solidly all night despite the heat and woke at 7.30am. Looked out to find that everyone in front and behind us had gone! We never heard a thing.
We got going about 9am and the first lock was number 57. Graham took this photo to display " 57 varieties of Red!" Actually I am going brown (ish)
What a contrast as we passed under the M6.
In case you are worried, Graham does wear a hat!
We made really good time and decided to press on and get through Middlewich. This is at a very busy junction on the network and on Saturdays there are many hire boat companies changing over visitors. Nothing of huge interest on the way although this chemical works makes over half the output of the nation's salt and the wasteland in front of it used to be the 'Ah Bisto! Factory. Wonder where it is made now?
