Sandbach to Church Minshull
Only 5 locks to get to Middlewich but most of it follows a straight road. Stopped for diesel at Kings Lock boatyard where it was only 57p/l. I managed to squeeze in 136l. Turned left at the junction onto the Middlewich branch and moored. Went for lunch in the White Bear. Later we carried on and moored for the night on the 46hr moorings between bridges 13 and 12. Here you get a good view over to the village of Church Minshull. Unfortunately there is concrete shelf below water and we couldn't even get the bow in, but with the help of an underwater fender I managed to prevent banging in the night. Had something to eat on board then walked to the Badger for a beer in the Tap room. They had a singer in the other bar and later on some quiche and chips were brought out.
