Hope the 'Manchester 18' and the Rochdale 9 were kind to you.

We did the run from Cromwell to Keadby on Tuesday with an hour layover in Torksey. Dont say we passed you and didnt spot you? - you were on my mind.<br />Pippin - thats a very useful fact cos, yes we are planning to descend to Castlefields on Friday. I will check with CRT as we start at Failsworth and maybe divert via the Ashton. Oh - yes - the can was in the antique shop neat the Tod services (next to the old co-op)<br />AndyAndy Tidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297448211000021970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367296273511467142.post-42048737916055969692013-09-04T09:05:11.565+01:002013-09-04T09:05:11.565+01:00Been following your blog and can't believe you...Been following your blog and can't believe you are moored at lock 36. We should also be there but are stuck at Castlefield in Manchester due to the stoppage on the Rochdale 9! Some idiot walloped the bottom gates of lock 89. Hope you are not going that way. It may be sorted by the end of the week. Fingers crossed. We are aiming for Sowerby Bridge and then into North Yorkshire.<br />By the way, did you get the can from the antiques shop opposite the sanitary station?<br />Kev nB Pippin.Pippinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672626991568262940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367296273511467142.post-46407396303047095952013-09-04T08:25:54.234+01:002013-09-04T08:25:54.234+01:00Were you on the Trent last Tuesday?
