Cheddleton to Br38 Denford
After ascending the two locks at Cheddleton we moored at the Flint Mill Museum. this lovely little museum is free (donations welcome) and is a fascinating place and somehow isn't cluttered with modern day Health and Safety. You take yourself on a self-guided tour with the aid of a very useful fact sheet and the volunteers are there to give information if required.
Nicola decided to set off up the hill for the 5 minute walk (according to the guide book) to the shops, but came back empty handed. The bad neck that had been troubling her for a few days didn't help. I set off and after about 15 minutes walk uphill found a Bargain Booze with not much useful stock except booze, but then spotted a small convenience store a bit further up the hill. The shopping arrangements on this canal are few and far between and we will come better prepared when we come again.
Having stocked up with some basics we then set off back towards Denford and the Holly Bush Inn. As this is close to the two branches of the canal it makes for a very pleasant circular walk with a welcome pint of Thwaites Wainwright in the Holly Bush on the way back to the boat.
