It's been an interesting few days to say the least, we left sandbach to head to the festival, we had invited ben onto the boat to drive to middlewich which is about 6 miles away, ben is close now to buying his own boat and needs all the experience he can get. whilst we are travelling boaters kept shouting as we passed "theres a boat sunk in lock 74" now lock 74 is the last lock we were going through to breast up on the side of the witchcrafter, we decided to moor up just before kings lock and have a walk down to see if there were any moorings below, suffice to say no there wasn't so we went to look for our friends and have a chat then went back to the boat and ben on his way on his push bike. next day we went down the locks and moored up on the witchcrafter, had a walk round the town which was heaving with revellers, every pub was blasting out music to attract custom, what a great atmosphere it was too, back at the boat we had a walk round the stalls that were set up on the side, we also walked the line of boats to see thier wares on the way back we bought 4 bags of fudge from the fudge boat yummy. seeing as we were only staying the night we had a little drinking session that went on till 3.30am, sheila and jim had gone off to the pub and joined us later.
