I was at the Art college in Northwich at the end of the 70's, we visited the salt works when the old workings were all working.. Fascinating place..

[@borderreiver3288]

THE SALT WORKS ARE AMAZING...

[@ronnielloyd4676]

You are great fun to watch :) Lovely to see your mum, now I know where you get your good looks from :) Pixel, gorgeous as usual :)

[@NarrowboatChef]

Pixel obviously gets her good looks for us... 🤣

[@jiloute22]

Good evening to you two, Pixel is really sociable, his masters too, vlog very appreciated

[@NarrowboatChef]

Thanks! She loves meeting other people and especially other dogs!

I used to work there in 1973 for a short time after leaving school before joining the Royal Air Force. My job was load bags of salt onto a truck which carried a total of 20 tonnes. It was back breaking work for a teenager.

[@NarrowboatChef]

Wow, that would have been intense work!! 😲

[@russjones4034]

I asked you to show a map of your starting / ending points and Lo and Behold you listened and are doing just that. Very appreciative. Happy Boating.

[@NarrowboatChef]

You’re welcome, we’re working on improving them! 😊

[@ynot6473]

@ 4.30, that mooring is inaccessible by any other means than boat. had a very tranquil night there.

[@peterscandlyn]

Mum cam interspersed with daughter cam! You had a grand day for it.

[@NarrowboatChef]

Yes, it was beautiful!

[@Renovator26]

Dear little Pixel - how she reminds me of our wire-fox terriers down the years. She needs a haircut though! We had two dogs of this breed at one time and I bought a professional dog clipper. Easy to use and saves a bundle. Our Daisy used to strut about after a haircut and then find some poo to roll in! Happy days.Nice to see your mom and dad.

[@NarrowboatChef]

Yes, she does need a clip! She hates having a haircut, we’re planning to get it done once we’re in the marina. 😊

[@ianofsjkartwork]

Green Grow the Rushes-O. (For those not familiar with it, it's an English folk song. Seemed to fit the bill on that narrow stretch. )
I still miss Basil.

[@NarrowboatChef]

[@goetzliedtke]

Now you need to add "Stay" to "Down".

[@suee6835]

That was the day I passed you at Whatcroft...
I thought the same as you about the reedy offside on the T&M. It's easy to forget it's a widebeam waterway!

[@NarrowboatChef]

Yes! So many reeds!
