Manchester to Barbridge

A good few days in Manchester which allowed us to catch up with Tom and the gang from church but all good things must come to an end after church on Sunday we took Tom and Shirley back to the boat and set sail for Stretford were we had dinner with Tom and Shirley. Monday morning we were off again staying the night at Lymm with Mike and Val again though Tue morning we were off again early as we had to pick up Maurine at Preston Brook we were really flying picking Maurine up had lunch and made Anderton by tea time were e entertained Silvia, Marjorie, Geof and Alan it was like a class reunion. we are now on the junction with the Shropshire Link and the Shropshire heading towards Chester. Today has been awful wind rain and the back end of a hurricane but we made excellent time cover almost two days in one, Maurine managed to help with two locks but then slept for two hour, I'm saying nothing as it may incriminate me in a liable action. anyway I now I expect to get to Chester tomorrow which means a day early or a day off which ever comes first.
Sorry no pics it was too wet
