Bosley Locks to Mow Cop.

Another fairly short day today as we are getting good at reading the weather and were safely moored before it all started again.

We awoke this morning under a cloud, not quite what you might be thinking but this hump of rock that has the unlikely name of the Cloud.

It can be seen for miles around and we have been staring at it for what seems a very long time now as we have come down the Maccie.

This impressive building is Ramsdell Hall, not quite the norm for the canal.... don't you know. Now clear orf from ones grounds.




Here we go again, the clouds get ready to join forces and let go of what they are holding.
We estimated about half an hour and we were right.






Near where we are moored is a boatyard that actually had a set of these decorative chains for holding the chimney on the boat in case a tree knocks it over. I have been trying for ages to get a set and have been quoted all sorts of prices starting from £25 and then going to silly money.
I found these tucked away under a pile of key rings at the yards shop and the nice lady said give me two quid, those clouds definitely had a silver lining.

We should be back onto the Trent & Mersey tomorrow which will complete our "South Pennine Ring"

So until then......................
