29th May 2013 - Remained at Anderton

Heavy rain in the night.  After breakfast we cycled into Northwich to buy our train tickets for tomorrow. The ticket mistress was very helpful and looked at all possible combinations of route to get us the cheapest tickets.  She went a bit pale and quiet at one point.  Annie leaned over to have a squint at her computer.  Apparently an opened ended monthly return was over £600!  We went pale and quiet too....  In the end we sorted out something more affordable and came away with our tickets, and phone numbers for a taxi company - we weren't going to walk all this distance again in the morning, it had taken 1/2 hour to cycle.

Tickets procured we had a wander around Northwich which is not unpleasant.  We made our way down to the river with a mind to cycle to our moorings of a few days ago at Vale Royal to find Pete and Wendy on Nb Forget-me-not.  However we didnt have to go that far, as they had moved from Vale Royal and were now moored up in the town.  Annie knocked hard on the door, which took them by surprise as no-one had ever done that before on the boat!  Sat and chatted over a cup of tea provided by Wendy for 45 minutes, when we had to set off back due to a steadily darkening sky.

In the afternoon I walked over to the marina to check where they want us to moor.  All seems to be in order!

Pub as seen from the boat.  Do we brave the rain to go all that way for an evening refreshment?
