Day 24 - Congleton

Friday 26th June

3 miles



Snake bridge at Congleton

Rain overnight dry but grey when we got up. Set off for Congleton which was only three miles along the canal. Found a mooring easily and walked the mile or so to the town centre after coffee. Very pretty place, lots of people about, some beautiful old buildings eg the counting house most of which had been turned into pubs. Had a shopping spree. Paul got a lightweight jacket and a book of old maps in a charity shop. I found and M & Co and got a couple of tops. Also found a new shaving light in Argos which Paul fixed later. Bought nice lunch from a deli.





Walking into Congleton



Chinese takeaway by the boat

Weather got brighter as day progressed. Strolled along to bridge 75 by the station and had a drink in the Railway Inn before walking back to the Wharf - a local pub where we ordered a Chinese takeaway.













... and a glass of wine!

Sat outside boat with a bottle of wine and candles to eat our meal. Very nice!
