Hello everyone. Pugwash here at the end of Day 12, Wednesday 28th of September. The day has seen us boating to 10 1/2 hours from Audlem to the the outskirts of Chester. We are currently moored above Christleton Lock.
The day has been hot and sunny., one passer-by told me the temperature was 24 C. A great September Summer! The boating was a mixture of small towns and open natural countryside. Fantastic views across Cheshire's rural landscape. All of which are totally missed by the traffic hurrying along the M6 motorway a few miles away from our idyllic 4 mph! In fact it was simply the perfect boating day. It is now 21:50 and I am again sat in the well deck writing this blog and do not need to wear a coat! How good is that? As the saying goes.
In the morning we set off at at 08:30 and complete the last few locks into Chester city centre them down through the famous staircase locks and at that point we are approximately 3 hours from our home port and the end of our trip. Well not quite! We have the two boats to make clean and tidy and sort out all of the equipment and personal baggage that has been so much a part of our lives for the past 13 days.
What a fantastic trip it has been. A ton of stories to tell, Hundreds of photos to review and catalogue. I am certain that within a very short time of returning the recollections will start and events will be recycled many times to anyone that wants to listen and even if they don't. :-))
Within a day or so of returning home I will post my final blog of the trip. So after this one there will be at least one more. I have already been told that this will become a regular feature of all trips away from the museum with any of our historic boats. Talk to you again soon. Thanks for following our wonderful trip.
