Going South for the Summer
Day 32, Wednesday 17th August 2011
Anderton boat lift, parked near this over night.
Anderton to Lymm
Set of for Manchester, back through the tunnels, flow control terrible, notices either seem to be missing or inconsistent, or in the wrong place. One or two slightly irate people around, and we are out onto the Bridgewater.
Need to decide if we are going to push hard and go all the way round to Worsley or stop on the way, we arrive in Lymm and decided to stay there, especially as have found a rather nice place o moor.
We all have a walk round, and see there is a nice Fish and Chips shop, so we decided to get a Fish Chips for tea, they are close to the boat, so they are still nice and hot and then we go to the pub to investigate there Wi-Fi. Well we all get a drink. It seems free Wi-Fi means free to access a charging provider! So we go back to the boat and use the Wi-Fi from there, £5 for 24 hours unlimited access, Sue was getting withdrawal symptoms, from having not accessed her emails.
Then Jigsaws, puzzles, books, bed time drinks and so to bed.
