Wednesday 3rd June

Manchester to Crooke

Set off at 8am and soon turned right to north towards Wigan. Stopped at Bridgewater marina to empty the loo then stopped in Leigh for lunch in the Boars Head.

After lunch we carried on towards Wigan, which we passed through to avoid spending the night there. Noticed that the pier is still closed. There were 2 locks up to Wigan junction and 2 locks down again to go east towards Liverpool. The area between these last two locks look like the best place to moor now.

Stopped for the night at Crooke opposite the Crooke Hall Inn. This is now an Allgates brewery pub and their brewery is in Wigan.

A long day but only 6 locks, and we can look forward to some shorter days now.
