Harding's Wood to Oakgrove
on Mow Cop
0705 got up; 0810 under way. Moored by Bridge 85 so we could walk up the hill. We had our fair share of rain on this holiday, but today was one of the hottest. We'd run low of drinking water while we were on Mow Cop. Jan spotted a woman gardening in the nearby village, so she got her water bottle refilled. Fantastic weather, but too much of a heat haze for long distance views.
Set off again at 1215 and made our way up Bosley locks, reaching the top lock at 1700 where we watered up. By 1745 we were on our way again.
At 1820 we moored at Bridge 50 and had a towpath barbecue.
Today:
7.0 hours
12 miles 1 furlong
13 locks
Cumulative:
74.0 h; 158 m 1 f; 75 l
