Strines to Ashton Under Lyne

Started down the Marple flight just after 9. Despite the very stiff bottom paddles we made good progress, helped as we were by a man on a bicycle with a windlass.

Moored just north of the Marple aqueduct for lunch.

Carried on the Dukinfield where we backed into the entrance to Portland basin marina for the night.

Walked into Ashton and found a Chinese restaurant. After that we walked out to find the Oddfellows Arms. This was a Robinsons pub which had their Hatters mild.
