Early start from Middlewich as the traffic woke us at around 5.30am. There were a couple of locks to negotiate on our way to Wheelock but a short cruise today after a long day yesterday. The weather was bright and sunny to start but we did have a couple of hail showers and just before mooring a very heavy downpour. We got grounded on a very tight corner when we met another boat but so did the other boat. We felt quite guilty cruising away while the other boat was still struggling to get free. We did offer to help but he refused our help. Managed to get a really mooring spot at Wheelock at the front of the queue for the 15 locks tomorrow. It was just us moored at 12pm but by the end of the day there was a long stream of boats moored up as well. In the afternoon we walked into Wheelock village which was a very nice, good stocked shop so we stocked up on provisions and then a quick drink in the Cheshire Cheese. There was a lovely Italian restaurant right on the canal but they would not allow dogs in or outside so we went back to the boat to eat.
