Castlefield Basin to Moore
0640 John up. Weather showery. Thought about staying a day here in Manchester but decided it would work better for my brother and family joining us from London if we cracked on. Should moor at Wrenbury on Saturday evening. In the event we didn't get quite that far.
on the Bridgewater Canal
a handy ledge for bottle tops
0755 Under way. Passed Manchester United FC ground again, and Kellogg's. Stopped at Stretford for Ally and John to shop. Then stopped at the canalside Halford's at Sale to see if I could get oil and filter, but they had no book of oil filter equivalents so didn't buy anything. Watered up at Little Bollington, then at 1415 we tied up at Lymm for the butcher's and Somerfield. Got going again at 1620.
where I like to be
Moored at Moore at 1900. Jan cooked a very good pork stew. Looked round the village, which has many interesting houses, including one with an angled frontage and an inscription across the front of the house which read "Every house is builded by some man" with the date (1670?).
