Day 21 - Friday 14th July 2006 Half past five in the morning! That's right 05:30 was when the first boat passed us. Do these people not have a life! With the shallow edge the boat crunched for ages afterwards, and then more came during the morning, finally I gave up at 09:00.
We got off after a lull in the traffic at about 11:00 - just nicely in front of a Viking Afloat boat. We had a good run up the locks, doing them in 30 minutes, and a sunny if windy run to Shebdon Embankment, where there are some nice moorings. Dad went for a bike ride, while I watched TV. We set of again at 14:20, stopping at Norbury (15:40) quickly for an ice cream, and a look around the chandlery - diesel at 46.9ppl here. We finally reached Wheaton Aston by 18:45, and decided to go to the Hartley Arms for tea. I had Poachers Chicken which was excellent, and Dad had the mixed grill, and was actually filled for a change. I noticed that there was a fair ground on in the field just down the lane, part of Wheaton Aston Carnaval. --- Mike Askin nb. Kismet http://shoestring.zapto.org/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
