Saturday 15^th September. Filled up with water, emptied out all the rubbish and set off again. Weather much better today and the wind had dropped considerably.

Around the basin are remnants of the old lime kilns

and the wharfinger’s house.

We also had to exit through a narrow section where the boats were gauged to calculate how much lime they had taken on board.

As we travelled along the weather improved, the sun came out and we were stripping off fleeces and woollies in an effort to cool down. Good old British weather! Stopped at Jonathan and Julie’s again and treated Julie to a cup of tea basking in the sun on the towpath. Could have sold numerous cuppa’s to cyclists and walkers. As noted before, the views around here are glorious.

Took a couple of pictures of Goyt Mill, now a business centre.

Stopped at Higher Poynton for the night with a promise of a pub supper.
