Down came the rain........at last.
Leaving Dunham Town, our quest was to find a water point. Over the twenty odd miles of this canal there is only one of them left.
We were so pleased to have found it we tied it to the boat so there was no escape.
A lady from the permanent moorings came by as we were filling up and we asked her if there was a rubbish disposal point anywhere near.
.
To this, she burst out laughing and said "You are on the Bridgewater now love, this is run by The Manchester Ship Canal Company"
.
Oh..........
.
This canal has all the water it needs, in comparison to grinding along the bottom a few miles back on BW waterways the inconvenience of a few missing services is not all that bad.
.
It was a day all about water, for as we left the water point the Sky's darkened and down it came.
Just enough to get us absolutely soaked before we could drag our coats out though, no little shower there.
Lymm was only a small drowning along the canal and with its chocolate box looks we were well in as we took the last mooring of the row.
.
.
Lymm has stocks!!! but they are padlocked shut.....I took my own padlock when we visited, just in case.
We are staying here for today as there is also a very handy Laundrette close by and golf on the telly all day........ Let the rain fall.
Until next time...................
