Friday 29th.

 Any second thoughts about fetching the boat home were eliminated today, after a nightmare 3 hour drive from Ponte to Lichfield.
Finally arrived at 5 & spent a fraught 2 hours unpacking & trying to get it all stowed away before returning to Wakey to drop off the car.

 

                                                               This is the proposed route.

                                      

 

Kings orchard Marina nr. Huddlesford on the Coventry to Stanley Ferry on the Aire & Calder via Manchester & the Rochdale, hopefully fitting in a ride on the Anderton boat lift.

 

 

                                                                        These are the crew!

 

 

                                                                  Cap'n Pete, Kellydog & me.
