The weather forecast continued to show heavy rain from 1pm and we were running out of groceries. So there was little choice but to start off as soon as possible and make for Middlewich, a journey of about 4 miles and 1 lock. There we could moor, walk to the supermarket, buy 3-4 days of provisions and be back on board before the rain started. Everything worked to plan although the rain turned up about half an hour late and has continued most of this afternon. We are resigned to staying in Middlewich tomorrow as the forecast is even worse.
Forgot to mention - today we saw our first kingfisher of the year, a flash of electric blue flying down the canal ahead of us about half way through the journey.
And another PS - having just turned on our wifi I noticed another nearby router: "MI6 Surveillance Van No. 5"!
