Day 2: Up the Rochdale we go.

Sunday 18th August:-
The rain had left us and we set off from lock 15 in grey damp conditions. The sun came out at Todmordon where we topped up the water ( our hose was just long enough!), emptied the bog and topped up our bottled water for drinking.
We past through the guillotine lock 19 and proceeded quickly up the canal into beautiful moorland scenery in what was now a sunny warm afternoon.
Before we knew it, we had reached lock 36. It was padlocked and we therefore settled there for the night. We were a bit restless at first as the short pound where the visitor moorings were was very low. We expected to ground overnight but when morning came, we were OK.
