Well, today is what we signed up for. ONLY 2 locks today right at the start of the run followed by 18 miles down the delightful Peak Forest and Macclesfield Canals. A few light showers and lots of sunshine. Finished this evening in Bollington at David's daughter Fabienne's house for dinner. Joined by Lorraine the wife of our driver Ian. So a good jolly time was had by all - except those of us who were falling asleep. David nearly suffered a serious head injury when a duck took off in front of him and flew straight into his face. Apart from that we are well and going strong. A long day tommorrow but hopefully fairly straightforward.
