Last night we had our last meal in Northwich at Relish, its very close and handy for the town moorings, unlike last Thursday night when the weather was hot and the place empty, last night they were quite busy.
A bit of admin to do this morning so we didn’t leave until 11-45am. heading down stream for the last time, I like this river. Down passed the Anderton Lift that still doesn’t work noting that the trip boat wasn’t there, we met it just a few minutes later and this time about half full. I don’t know how far they go and what it cost.
I called Saltersford just before the the dredging disposal site, today is Martin’s day off and his relief is a lady, today she was instructing another CRT member on how Saltersford lock operates, the same chap will be locking us out of Marsh Lock on Friday. Down to Acton Bridge where I gave Bob at Dutton Lock a call so that lock was ready for us as well. The water must be gushing through the top gate of the lock at almost the same rate as an open paddle on a narrow canal lock.
Once clear of the lock we turned to face upstream and moored on the visitor moorings/waterpoint for the night again, while we were here we also filled the water tank.
