Sitting out the rain at Oxley on the Shroppie.Hopefully, we will move tomorrow.  Not sure about our chums, as we are about to come to a parting of  the ways anyway.  We will be going on and thay will be hanging about waiting for their other friends to come up from the south.

So what else did we do at the BCLM.  went for a pint, of course.   the barman said if we could pay with a white fiver we could have out pint for 3d.  we couldn't, however, and had to pay £3.40 per pint. grrhhh.
Went on the Cake Walk, now as this was Mick's era he managed it with n o problem. I didn't and could hardly move for laughing.  Mick and Jim went down the pit, while Maralyn and I travelled by tram. It was so good, we stayed on for the return trip.

In the afternoon we had done it all and decided to move the boats accross to the BW facilities.  we watered up and we were going to use the BW washing machine, until I discovered that it was a very large SINK. ! Had showers in the huge bathrooms, and then watched a hire boat crewed by coffin dodgers proceed to wind( turn their boat) backwards into a winding hole. ! Absolutley NO.  I knew it was going to go wrong, when I heard the lady ask " Is there a little turning circle here?"  EH? WHAT?

They left and hour before us the next morning and we still caught them up half way down the flight. !!!!
