Just a short update today as no movement because the river levels are still high.  However we did see a convoy of five narrow boats passing, four of whom we think must have passed through the lock this afternoon.  We have decided to sit it out until water levels go down.

The delightful Truly rolled in something noxious again and I had to clean her up with foam shampoo.  Such a pretty dog and such a mucky moo!!

Spent an interesting morning with Christine and Mal, who kindly brought us out the two Richlow Guides that cover the next part of our trip.  These are excellent guides and well worth the investment.  The Richlow Guide to the Chesterfield Canal was both interesting and informative and we enjoyed using it.

Watch this space for a further update when the weather improves and we can get underway again.  Hopefully we will still be in time for our passage through Standedge Tunnel, although it is raining hard again.
