We woke yesterday to some much needed sunshine after yesterday's constant deluge. We had a nice slow cruise back down the Mac towards Bosley Locks. The plan was to stop at Royal Oak Swing Bridge and have a meal at the Fools Nook pub. However the pub has closed down so we opted for a remote mooring near Locketts Bridge.
We cannot get over the amazing views offered from the elevated position of the Macclesfield Canal (it looks even better now it is not persisting it down with rain). The views have such variety: deep valleys, high hillsides, remote pockets of chocolate-box stone-built cottages, deep woodland and flat lush grassland. It really is an area worth visiting.

As you can see from the three photos taken from our evening's mooring, we are in a beautiful remote spot with only the sounds of the birds and a few sheep. Currently moored above Bosley locks - the 12 we traversed through a few days ago. Will wait till today to tackle them, though at least it's downhill this time!
Being left with bits and pieces of salad stuff, peppers, onions, etc took a packet of chicken thighs out of the freezer and cooked a curry for tea (Jan adds "delicious"!).
