The beginning of January brought a sprinkling of snow while we were moored at Halsall. The statue of the Halsall navvy represents the workforce who dug our amazing network.
There have been some stunning winter sunrises and sunsets, especially when they shine though the portholes onto John!
I loved the full moon with Winter Hill mast in the distance.
We had a belated Christmas meet up with Edmund and Joe, who came up to Chorley. It was so wonderful having all 11 of us together.
Preston Dock is somewhere we’ve always wanted to visit. So a short bus ride from Burscough got us there. We are SO loving the £2 bus fares, it works out much cheaper than the trains, for some journeys. We were surprised at how few boats were in the docks. There were only 4-5 narrowboats along with a few sailing boats.
We had a wonderful stroll along the River Ribble from the docks to the disused tramway. The tramway used to connect the Walton Summit Branch of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal to Preston. Recently, the wooden river bridge has been closed for safely reasons.
