| Leaving Bugsworth Upper Basin |
We woke up this
morning with a smattering of snow all around, the hills looked bright
in the sunlight, when it decided to peek out from behind the clouds.

| Getting water before leaving Busworth |
We had to move on
from Bugsworth because our time was up and we needed to get some
laundry time in, so we were off to Marple.
We had a problem
closing swing bridge No 30 on the Peak Forest Canal. The bridge has
a locking mechanism that prevents it from swinging open by it's self.
However, the locking bar was jammed and we had to hit it with a
windlass to free it up. As it's quite windy the bridge could blow
open if we hadn't sorted it meaning the farmer may not be able to get
over.

We had no more
problems on the way to Marple. We did have a little chat with a
fellow boater who was moored up just after swing bridge No25. He
gave us some good pointers on where to moor on the Macclesfield
Canal.
We decide to go
through Marple and moor after Goyt Mill at a place we found on the
way out to Bugsworth, we will stay here a few days and have a walk
around and get our laundry done.
