David wanted to get on and through Preston Brook tunnel early, so he set off at 0530 to get the 0600 slot!!! Once in the tunnel he soon discovered it was not such a good idea. It was too dark to see the entrance in the distance and he had nowhere to aim for.
A quick stop at Moore for a newspaper and some pate from the little shop there and then on to Lymm for ah hour's rest.
By then the sun had come out and it was rather pleasant. There was lots of activity at the moorings by the Old No 3 pub, looks like they are re-doing the water points and maybe even some mooring rings. This canal is a "spike" one - not many rings or bollards, which when you consider how fast the boats go past moored ones can make it fun to keep put. We did find 5 rings here though, which is why we s
topped.Here is the card for my Brother's grandaughter
A white card blank with the edges coloured with pink ink. A pink feather and a little hair ornament with the elastic taken off the back.
The sentiment is a silver rub-on on white card with the edges coloured with the pink ink.

Hi
We sold our boat Poppy a couple of years ago but found the best way to steer through tunnels was to have a light illuminating the near side rear deck and tunnel wall and keep them both about 6 inches apart. The bow looked after itself.
Happy tunnelling
Dave
