Now on the Bridgewater canal

I'm having a short day today to balance out my ten hours of cruising yesterday. I did 23 locks, most of them on my own and several of them very heavy or problematic. Luckily there were usually some dog walkers around that offered help. I then had to travel a few miles to find a decent mooring. I was absolutely k***kered at the end of the day. Now I have quite a few days of lock free canal to look forward to. While I'm in the area I am considering going into Manchester for a couple of days.
