Tuesday I rode back for the van. It was another rainy morning with not much sign of it letting up, so I decided to just brave it and be on my way!! It wasn't a good start as I turned the wrong way onto the A41 and cycled about 1 1/2 miles towards Chester when I should have been going towards Whitchurch - doh!! I got absolutely soaked and just as I got back to the boat, the sun came out and stayed out for the next 3 hours............
Wednesday I took a trip into Chester, to visit Trailfinders and start to investigate our trip to Hong Kong etc, the girl in there was excellent really knew her stuff.
Whilst I was in Chester I took the chance to have a walk around part of the historic wall, picture below is from the wall looking down on the town centre.
Thursday was a really nice day, so as Rod had gone to Nottingham leaving at 5:30 in the morning, I did a bit of boat DIY, touching up some of the paint on the sides that had been scuffed going into locks and took George for a nice walk. The lock keeper on the Grindley staircase locks, was particularly bored as there had not been much traffic, so we had a bit of a natter and I said I would see him on our way up tomorrow, heavy rain tomorrow, he said.... (I am rapidly learning not to take that much notice of the weather forecast beyond the current day!)
