Acton Trussell to Tixall Wide

Awoke this morning about 7.00 to the sound of heavy rain, no point in rushing to get up. After the heavy shower we set off with blue skies. Even though we are on familiar waters we still enjoy cruising this stretch, the hedgerows and fields changing with the seasons. Luckily we stayed dry today, mooring before the next lot of showers. Only a short cruise to another favourite spot of ours on Tixall Wide.
