Anderton to Bramble cutting

Miles 7.3 Locks 0
Just a short blog today. We left Anderton at 9.30 am after taking on water and eventually geting a pump-out. We then cruised south past the two flashes near Orchard Marina to bramble cutting a 48hr mooring spot just north of bridge 176. The sightused to be a clay pit for the waterway when it needed clay for puddling the bottom, now it is a pleasent mooring and picnic site on the non towpath side looked after by Broken Cross Boat Club.
