Staying put at Marple Junction.

While we have been waiting around here for the boat to dry out it has given us the opportunity to watch some golf, this turned into a three day marathon golf fest.

It was good though!

As you can see I have eventually got some pictures to upload, to do this I had to be sitting here at 05:30 this morning, not good. I think it might be time to find another Blog host, one that actually works when it gets busy.

The pictures below are some I promised to put on and others from our approach to Marple.


This was before the weather turned for the worse, lovely scene.


Were those clouds building up? getting ready for a non stop drenching lasting two days. At least we are not missing any good cruising weather while we wait, there is always a silver lining somewhere.



A couple more of that terrific aqueduct.



This last one is of the final few locks to the very top, once again it is one of "those" arrivals where the boat is on the other side of the road to the houses.
That is quite a steep climb up that road and watching the cars whisk past in seconds as we move slowly but surely to the top gives you a good sense of perspective.

Well the boat is dry again and the flooring is back where it should be, a quick tankful of water and we will be back on our travels.

Until tomorrow........................(hopefully, fingers crossed, touch wood and all that stuff)
