We were directed to moor stern in on one of the fitting–out bays, just as the Tesco delivery arrived. So we quickly dumped the groceries in the car park, then I brought the boat into the marina and reversed into position.
Ernie the fitter got started on the service, while I ferried the shopping to Mags at the side hatch.
While there we got a replacement gas cylinder and 4 more bags of fuel, so left the marina with the boat heavier, but the wallet quite a bit lighter!

The new manager, Gary, seems a pleasant enough chap. He’s only been there a few weeks, so I’ll look for changes when we pass this way again next year.
We got away about 13:00, and were moored at Billinge Green Flash a short while later. Pretty busy with boats, half-term holidays to blame, I guess.
Locks none, miles 1½.
