As we didn't have that far to go today we waited until the rain stopped about 11 before setting off. First stop Anderton services to fill with water and dump recycling. Lee and Roberta were there on Halsall, they had just loaded with coal and were getting ready to set off.
Once we had filled up we were away and a couple of hours later I was reversing into our berth. The reason for returning was not to go home, but to do an oil and filter change, at the same time I also top up the 4 T105 6volt batteries, they take anything up to 1½ Lts of water each time. We had lunch before I started just to let the engine cool a bit but still be warm to make the oil easy to pump out.
Once that was all done we moved the car a bit and put some items not required on board in the boot. Then it was back out on the cut, turning right and heading to Middlewich, it ended a bit damp with a rainbow. Once you are past Whatcroft Flash the next winding point is just below Big Lock and most conveniently there are moorings just beside it, so that is where we have moored for the night, tomorrow morning we have to retrace our steps to the marina and drive to Napton. But more on that tomorrow night.
