Kidsgrove to Sandbach

Set off at 9am to get to Thurlwood locks at Rode Heath. We were lucky with the locks and they were all full so we made fast progress and arrived early. Had the remains of the pizzas for lunch then went to the Royal Oak for a pint.

After that we set off down Heartbreak Hill again. We were not so lucky with the locks and ended up following a couple on a brand new boat who were being very gentle. They stopped at Wheelock and we carried on to moor within easy walking distance of Sandbach station. We caught the 18.57 train to Goostry where we went to the Crown Inn for dinner. Very nice food and a good selection of mostly local beers. Caught the 21.43 train back to Sandbach.
