Saturday 27th June
8 miles, 12 locks
 |
| Eh?!! |
Sunny day the flora has changed and summer flowers are in full bloom - dog roses, foxgloves and brambles.

| The Cloud |
Cruised to the bottom of Bosley locks where we stopped for a coffee and short read looking up at the Cloud.

| Bosley Locks |
Bosley flight is 12 locks which raise the canal by 118 feet making us over 500 ferret above sea level. The scenery is spectacular and we have had a view of the Cloud for most of the day, the Cloud being a hill supposedly shaped like a cloud.
At the third lock Paul picked up a passenger a Chinese student staying with an English family and out for a walk with them. He was very excited and videoed the journey through one lock.
Progress was slow due to volume of traffic going up and down flight but atmosphere was good - lots of chat etc.
Stopped at the top lock for water and lunch. Cruised further on to a rural mooring for the night.
