Tesco Again

Well on Thursday we worked 2 locks then moored by Tesco so we could get supplies.  We are never going to go hungry!!  Friday was an interesting day.  The water in the pounds between some of the locks was very low so on a couple of occasions I had to walk on to the next lock to let some water through.  I walked through Scout Tunnel, trying not to notice the bats flying around in the dark, and I didn’t have a torch!  Did manage to find one lovely muddy puddle when I stepped in it!

Still Paul made it safely through only to go aground just before the next lock!  Saturday we arrived at Greenfield and went into the small marina there for a couple of nights. 

 Paul managed to get some painting jobs done and as you can see in the picture we were again moored right by Tesco!  Think we should buy shares!  Yesterday we caught the train into Manchester, travelling in 20 minutes what had taken us 3 days!  We are now moored in Uppermill and this afternoon we caught a bus to Marsden up over the Pennines into West Yorkshire.  Marsden is the other end of Standedge Tunnel which we are booked to go through on Friday.  Hopefully we won’t be too tall.

Couldn't get much closer, but you can see the hill behind.
