RACING & CHEROKEE

Met up with Sue & Martyn on Cherokee and discovered they read the blog and a pleasant 30 minutes was spent chatting until the approach of another boat meant i had better get myself through the lock. Nice to meet you both and until the next time enjoy.

After coming down the locks at Grindley Brook the roaring of engines could be heard and below the cause of it can be seen. Now it`s not everyday you can get to watch the racing for free and as it was lunchtime i moored opposite an an enjoyable hour passed by sitting on the front deck. By the time i was ready to move off 3 other boats had moored to do the same plus a few walkers were watching from the towpath.
