Barbridge to Malkin's Bank
sunrise on the Middlewich Branch
0600 John up; 0620 under way. Beautiful morning. Dieseled up at King's Lock in Middlewich - 183 litres @ 41p/litre. Also bought a metre of fender chain and two shackles to improve the hang of the bow fender.
Middlewich, the salt of the earth
Stopped for lunch at Crow's Nest Bridge (sandwiches), and then on to Elton Moss Bridge. This was the nearest point to Sandbach Station where we were to meet Jan off the 1649 train. Walking up the hill we came across a lovely old workshop. Can't find any photos of it, though. Didn't you take any, David?
the kitchen towel - can you see which end hung inside the cupboard?
Jan's train was on time, and we were back on board and under way at 1715. At 1915 we moored just past the winding hole at Malkin's Bank for tea and bed.
