Carried out the revised plan. Returned to our home mooring in the Nantwich Basin. Emptied the bins and then took the car round to Morrisons to stock up for the weekend.
The weekend event is the Annual Lock Wind organised by our branch (Shrewsbury District and North Wales) of the Inland Waterways Association. We help boaters through the Hurleston lock flight and encourage donations. There is also a stall with cake, chutney, jam, second-hand books etc. for sale.
Needed BBQ food for the evening social plus supplies for the rest of the weekend since there are no shops nearby.
As we passed through Hurleston towards Nantwich, Alan Platt was already there with his boat Coriolan.
The restocking trip went very smoothly and we arrived back at Hurleston in time to nab a good mooring midway along the rings.
Andrew was applying the third and final coat of gloss when our IWA Branch Secretary came to ask how long we were staying... The new beard was obviously an effective disguise!
We had a little rest in the boat before people gathered for the evening BBQ. A very enjoyable evening with plenty of nice food, drink and good company.
Off to bed ready for the exertions of the weekend.
