Acting flash.

From Northwich, we headed beyond the navigable part of the Weaver onto Winsford Flash, which is a lake like widening of the river. Because the whole area has been mined for salt since Roman times, many areas of subsidence have occurred and these "Flashes" abound in the area. Winsford is  larger than most and has a sailing club on it. We only tootled around at the beginning and moored up for lunch.

We were wary of running aground, since,

although narrow boats have a shallow draught, the flash is very shallow. We all emerged unscathed.

This should have been posted way back in June, but I had no signal. Still, better late than never!
