Mendip & Explorer go to Bourneville

Hi everyone Pugwash again. When we arrived at the Shady Oak yesterday it was a bit too early so we went on to Beeston, South Cheshire. Great meal nd interst in our project in the Beeston Castle Pub. Nice people. A night punctuated with trains on a mainline and heavy rain saw us all up and ready to start our day at 05:30. Great bacon butties for breakfast. Boat checks done and ready to move off before 07:00 BST. A cold damp morning but horrah clear, nearly daylight sky.
 We are making good progress on our journey with aan ETA into Audlem at approx 13:00 today. There we have a flight of 15 locks to negotiate. Some of our friends from the museum are joining us by road and wheel the locks for us. Many thankss to them all.

 As I write this we are cruising passed Nantwich Marina. Lots of interest in the trip and the crew are handing out information leaflets to boaters and canal walkers alike.

That's it for now. I am having issues with an intermittant 3G signal. Morre to come later. Bye for now.
