Busy bees today

Last night at Sasso was very good indeed and it's such a deceiving place. The entrance into a small front room of a terraced building in no way prepares you for what awaits as you climb the stairs. I had previously read reviews wherein the word Tardis was used and it is entirely appropriate. They could cater for a hundred people easily and it was certainly busy enough, especially for a Wednesday evening.
As we walked back along the towpath the street lights were visible on the far side of the valley and it was a fitting end to our day. I know the pictures don't come close to capturing the reality but at least by including them we can look back and remember how good it looked. The rest of you will have to take our word for it or use your imagination!

We rose early today as we had to use the services at Whaley Bridge, then visit their local Tesco, then get set up in Bugsworth Basin and get some washing on, so we were on the move just after eight this morning.
This next picture may be uninspiring but, as it's the Swizzels Matlow confectionary works, the smell was enough to start tooth decay!

As we continued, I snapped away at anything that caught my eye, either one the canal

"Play it nice and cool ,Trig"

Seen lots of this, thankfully all dead

Or off it

Viaduct over the Goyt

With all of our servicing and shopping done we eventually made it to Bugsworth where a very helpful chap met us, gave us a visitor leaflet and a bit of introductory info

I'll post more on the basin tomorrow after I've explored a bit.
