The hotel boats had arranged to have a later start than normal and we were able to take advantage of this. We set off after them but they stopped briefly at Litherland services to allow passengers to get between the 2 boats. After we had been through bridge 9 they sent a crew man ahead on a bike to operate all 5 swing bridges and we were obliged to take advantage of this!
Stopped at Lydiate for a liquid lunch at the Scotch Piper followed by a sandwich on board.
Stopped for the night outside the Farmers Arms near Burscough where we were joined by Andrew for a meal. After that we walked to the Splipway for some more beer.
