Broken down

I'd intended to leave Midlewich several days ago, but have managed to find a problem - my engine is overheating. Hoped it was a thermostat, which I could fix but both checked and OK. Will get an engineer on Tuesday or Wednesday. I guess it must be the waterpump. I had intended to be at the Anchor on Friday after stops in Nantwich and Audlem. I'll miss out Nantwich now and see if I can get to the Anchor in 2 days. That's 35 miles and 34 locks. Two 10 hour days should do it.
