Day 26 - Broadhurst Bridge to Macclesfield

Sunday 28th June

3 miles



Nice pontoon mooring with the old Hovis mill in the background

Rain overnight and showery when we woke up. As weather settled we cruised to Macclesfield not thinking much of the moorings until we passed under bridge 37 and found a space on one of the new floating pontoon moorings.











After lunch the lady on Margarita who had moored in front of us said that there was a huge market in the town centre. Strolled up sussing out the station on the way ready for next weekend.

It was a big craft and food market with brass bands playing in the church grounds. Bought a rug made in India for boat and a beautiful hand sewn dress for Anna. The lady also gave me a pair of turquoise and white striped pantaloons! Also bought Cheshire cheese, oatcakes, eggs, trout pate and falafels.

After relaxing walked across the road to the Puss In Boots pub before eating our lasagne.
