We are in the centre of Wigan tonight. Plenty of otber boats around just below Henhurst lock. Good shopping handy. 

Loads of other spots along the Leigh Branch of the Bridgewater. Dover Lock, Plank Lane, Astly Bridge, Boothstown, Worsley, Trafford Centre. 

Handy Aldi in Leigh with mooring just outside.

The facilities along this canal are a bit hidden but are reasonably frequent. 

Fuel etc at Thorne Marine at Stockton Heath  and just before Waters Meeting.

Moor at Lymm, Dunham Massey, Services at Outrington, Sale, Stretford, (Watch House Cruising Club for a pint Wednesday, Friday and Saturday night and Sunday afternoon), divert to Castleford for a night out in Manchester.

Castleford is one hell of a diversion for a night out-Castlefield might be closer!

This is Pennington Flash near Leigh today.  A lovely place to moor just before Plank Lane lift bridge.

The new BWML marina at Plank Lane is now about half full. There appear to be a couple of dozen places left still. Maybe they are waiting until the almost completed housing development is finished before the final few are let.

Not forgetting the fuel boat "Ariel"

This weekend I'm carrying out deliveries from Sale through Stretford to Manchester Castlefield and Worsley.

Plank line is spot on always a good collection of boats, Worsley is lovely, Doverlock always has supprising no of boats, night at the bottom of Poolstock is quiet assuming the building work doesn't stop this. Pub at Castlefield is spot on. Don't forget to wave at the Kelloggs factory.
