A Day Out with our Friends

Miles 7.4 locks 0
Today we finally managed to take some friends for a trip on the canal. We have been trying for a while to set a date but as you all know us retired folk are so busy it is difficult to fit things in. Anyway we realised that the weekend would be best when we all take a rest from our busy weeks schedule.
Gralyn waits patiently in the sun on her moorings in the High Lane arm for our visitors to arrive.
We had decided to go to the Miners Arms by bridge 18 on the Macclesfield canal for lunch.
Afterwards we continued South along the canal and turned just before bridge 20 and return to High Lane. The highlight of the trip home being strawberries and cream washed down with champagne. Everyone enjoyed the trip and after yesterdays rain the canal was deep enough to moor up without problem.
