Day 14: Back up the T&M and those wasps!

30th August. Today was going to be a short boating day. We covered just 10 miles and 6 locks. I had to have a good look at my log to find out why? 

Coming down the Middlewich locks was very slow going and it took us over 2 hours! We also made a stop in Middlewich to visit Morrisons and stock up on provisions. At around 3 pm we started north up the T&M and only made it to bridge 182a just south of Northwich. We would have of moored earlier but as we came into moor we disturbed a wasps nest in the canal bank. The sight of me at the tiller trying to outrun those angry wasps at 4mph made us laugh. I just had to grin and bare it and hope they didn't like my aftershave!
