This evening we are back on the main canal system and are moored on the Rufford Arm just before Spark Bridge.  Today has been a long day, we left the mooring at 9:30am and didn't moor up until 5:15pm.  Now taking it easy after a most welcome shower!  Drinking a gin and tonic and anticipating the delicious chicken curry that I cooked yesterday for this evening's meal.

You have to reverse into the staircase because there is no room to turn a boat at the bottom.
