After a lot of deliberation we decided that this morning we would turn round and go back the Tattenhall Marina for a DIY pump out, the winding hole was about 100 yards ahead or us and the marina entrance about 250 Yards behind is. So just after 9 we set off and did the necessary. There are sone interesting craft moored there.
It was even hotter today and we erected the Bimini which I really should have done a couple of days ago. We were soon onto the Golden Nook Moorings, I am not sure how often the bus comes this way,
Something I was not expecting was to meet a wide beam coming the other way, it all went surprisingly well. One thing I noticed was he had a tiller extension like you have on a sailing dingy so that he could look down the side of the hull. We also passed a boat with an interesting figurehead.
I am not quite sure why someone would go to the trouble of having a glass fence put along the canal side and then plant a hedge behind it so you cant see anyway.
I wonder how many times the walls of the locks have been rebuilt over the years.
We have been under this bridge 3 times in the passed few weeks and this Roller looks as if it hasn’t moved. Parked in the same spot.
The Mill Hotel has what looks like duck houses along the edge of the canal, but its so clean I cant imagine any ducks using it.
We had hoped to moor just before Cow Bridge as usual but it was packed and we had to go through the bridge and below the walls. Here is a shot from the walls as we went for dinner in Chester Market which is full of food outlets.
