What a difference a day makes! Wednesday. June 12th Moored Wheelock. Trent and Mersey canal

So now  all 26 locks of Heartbreak Hill are completed and we are moored up at Wheelock in Cheshire, a village which dates back to the Doomsday book (11th century). A treat was in order: we just ate a splendid Italian meal in San Marco's, a delightful restaurant in an old mill building beside the canal. It couldn't have been different from last night's fiasco. The food was hot and delicious and plentiful, served by a friendly waitress who was attentive but not intrusive.
