Luckily we had got back to the boat last night before the rain started. It may have been raining when we went to bed but it cleared out over night and we woke to ice on the roof of the boat and mist rising from the canal as can be seen at the only lock of the day Crompton Lock.
Quite a busy day on the cut today and we met 4 boats, the first an ex working boat called Aldridge, It’s not historic but not only is it ex working but its still working for the Rothen group.
Passing the moorings by the M54 this creature was lurking by the waters edge, I wonder if it ate the giraffe that use to be here.
Just beyond Hatherton Marina there has been a lot of work clearing trees for some reason, some of tree stumps and roundels are very brightly coloured.
We carried on meeting another two Narrowboats both of them looking very similar. Our mooring for the night was a sort way before Long Molls Bridge.
