We knew that it would only be a short day today so we did a few jobs and then set off just before 11 o’clock. The weather was alternately rain and dry, but mostly rain.

A quick lunch stop by the Anderton lift, then on to moor for the evening by bridge 211 a mile or so before Preston Brook tunnel.

It stopped raining for a while so we walked down a track to Dutton locks on the Weaver. No boats around as Saltisford locks are currently out of action so no one can get to Dutton, unless they come off the MSC.
