Sunday 28th July 2013

We all slept well and I managed to find dry shoes for Fiona and Jess. After a late breakfast we set off with Nigel and Jess having helming lessons and Fiona was on the revision course having passed Level one last year.

We managed to eat lunch outside before the rain started again. The ladies sensibly retreated to the inside while Nigel and Graham got wet! The rain came on so suddenly. As we entered a short bridge there was no rain but by the time we exited it was torrential.

After mooring in Whaley Bridge Nigel and Jess caught their train back to London and Fiona, Graham and I looked around the town before walking to Bugsworth Basin about 15 mins. away where lots of boats were moored. Another downpour started so we retreated to the 'Navigation Inn' to ride out the storm before walking back.
