We woke up to rain hammering on the roof and it was still raining when we left. It was tempting to stay on our nice mooring but the forecast continues dodgy, so on we go. It rained or drizzled most of the day. It did make for some interesting skies though.
It was all about the locks today. They were a mixture of single singles and double singles. The second lock here had been turned into an overflow and made a rather good waterfall.
The countryside was pretty to start with but about half way through the day turned more boring and industrial. This area is known for its saltworks and we passed this one with its huge pile of salt ready to be bagged up and shipped out.
We were tiring as we approached Middlewich in the driving rain, but this made us smile.
At Middlewich we passed the junction with the Middlewich branch of the Shropshire Union and we were back on familiar territory. We headed for the good moorings below the locks. Its not far to the centre of town and tomorrow we will take a day off to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
