Bollington

Bright sunshine and equivalent warmth announced the morning but, sadly no great views of the Peak District. We are moored on a stretch of the Macclesfield which resembles the M6 or M25 (pick your favourite) on a good day, full of boats end to end. Moored, not marooned.

We toodled through Macclesfield, past the breathtaking Hovis Mill,taking on water en-route to the Gurnett Aqueduct where we moored near the Olde Kings Head where we met Joel (youngest son) and plan to meet friends from home tomorrow.

The days are distinctly autumnal now and much shorter, starting to get dark and chillier around 4.00pm.

Overall a good day, with nothing exciting to report.
