Canal: Yup

1st mate to silk museum. Captain Maddock to Tescos and a bike ride down the Middlewood cycle way which follows the old railway line. Figured out a better system for raising and lowering the heavy stainless steel engine cover. This is hard work solo so I've attached ropes to the lifting lugs which are then looped round the boats roof rails and it can be raised and lowered with those reasonably easily. Then back to winding point at bridge 45 to turn north again.  Stopped in beautiful countryside by Gurnett aqueduct and went for a pint in the Kings Head.
