On to Cheddleton

We took the dogs for a walk around Milton this morning and bought some basic supplies.

Then we were off.

Elaine was soon limbering up with a hydraulic lift bridge



We passed fellow bloggers Ian and Karen on NB Tacet  Managed to click off a quick couple of snaps, actually looking at the snaps we passed on the wrong side, I'm sure there was a reason

 

Bombo added his weight to the lock balance beam

First roundabout we have come across

The Caldon is another lovely canal plus can be a bit challenging on some very tight bends, but its all good fun

 

We moored up next to the Steam railway at Cheddleton, we went to the Boat Inn for dinner, but it was fully booked....on a Wednesday! So we had a pint there then walked back along the towpath to The Red Lion, we had dinner with some very rowdy satellite antennae fitters!
