57 Saturday 27 February 2021 Chorley to Higher Wheelton
With the weather glorious, Simon opted to return to the Leeds Liverpool Canal.
We stopped at a little cafe on the edge of Horwich to get some takeaway breakfast then parked up at Botany Bridge.
We passed Botany Bay Mill which looked forlorn, When we saw the car park half dug up I realised that it probably wasn't just Covid that had shut the place down and that turned out to be correct.
I pointed out the Mormon church to Simon.
The scenery became rural as we approached the first locks since leaving Wigan at Johnson's Hillock.
We came to Wheelton boatyard.
Here we met a man operating a drone and got chatting. His footage can be found here.
Further on, we noted some horses on top of one of the bridges.
We called it a day below Higher Wheelton where a sign beckoned us to the Golden Lion which was doing takeaways. We had lunch there then caught the bus back to Chorley.
Great
