...Ok we are not now on the boat, but that was part of the plan/arrangement. We both had opticians stuff in Leek today plus other stuff this PM so reluctantly we left at dusk last night. Part of that was me wanting to watch the rugby and fish a bit which I did.
Earlier in the day I'd gone for a warm up walk around Shebdon prior to getting the lawn mower and strimmer out. We also made an enquiry on our original Shebdon mooring but it was gone within 24 hours. No real hardship as we like where we are and it is quite private whereas the farmer had napalmed our old mooring removing all the lovely vegetation and other structures I had put up such as wood storage and compost bin.
A nice result was we did not need to run the engine or genny as the sun charged up the boat and ecoflow batteries on both days before noon. So the electric was FOC thansk to our lovely star of burning energy.
Caught some nice Chub Roach and Bream on bread also.
Back today and treated myself with a 70 mile lanes exploration of the Staffs Moorlands, Staffs Peak district, Derbyshire Peaks High Peak and Derbyshire Dales on my Royal Enfield 411cc motorbike.
Need to get back to give the boat some polish and paint as well as an engine service, but before that I've an appointment with the furthest point west on mainland Britain... not on the boat !!
