Preparing for the off at 20 past 11 this morning …
Ray and Diane passed us late yesterday evening, they’re staying here today ...
… and a passing shot - half and half of Elaine and Paul!
There’s still some slushy ice on the canal at Macclesfield
The Hovis Mill - those of you who’ve read the Nicholson’s Guide will know that the word Hovis comes from the Greek ‘hominisunvis’ meaning ‘power to the man’ - Hovis - a man’s loaf then!
More fantastic ...
… scenery …
… as we head towards …
... Bollington
The lying snow became worse ...
… the further north we travelled
The drifting snow creates wonderful sculptures ..
Nature is ...
… a great ...
… artist!
Ice flows
Deep snow
Cruising ducks
We had to crunch through this lot!
The grade II Adelphi Mill once a cotton mill and now converted to offices ...
…more information here (sorry about the branches, picture taken from a moving boat!)
The ice flow is getting much thicker now
Monkey business at the canal centre
Another impressive mill building
Snow accentuates the stupendous views
Clarence Mill ...
… sister to the Adelphi Mill
Snow still sitting on the iced edges
Molly’s found another favourite spot on the locker on the back deck - if you look carefully (or click to enlarge) you can just see her ear!
Impressions of horse ropes on the bridge ‘oles from times long past
A roll-over
The view behind us - lovely!
Old stone fence posts march along the towpath
Eastwood End Caravan site at Adlington - I wonder if it will be busy here this Easter weekend?
A good hairdresser or a bad-hair day?
Grimshaw’s Bridge
Arriving at Lyme View Marina ...
… at our mooring ...
… and getting settled in.
