Left Congleton shortly after 9am on an overcast day. Made it through Bosley locks a bit slower than our usual pace due to the boat in front.
Ians parents joined us for a ride from the top of the locks to the swingbridge at Fools Nook, Oakgrove, where we all had lunch. Unfortunately due to a power cut yesterday they didn't have any real ale. The only rain we had today was while we were in the pub.
Carried on to Macclesfield where we moored near the old Hovis mill.
Started in the Waters Green Tavern then walked out of town to the Railway View, which was supposed to do food but wasn't. Had a pint there anyway as we knew that there was a Wetherspoons as a last resort. However they recommended a pub further out of town to eat which we tried. This turned out to be the Old Kings Head, a Banks pub which we had passed on the canal one mile before we moored. I had an excellent fish platter.
Walked back into town to the Sun Inn which only had two strong beers, so we moved on after one pint to the Prince of Wales.
