Canals 1981 - Cheshire Ring

By 1981 the popularity of boating had become such that no fewer than 6 boats with over 50 participants toured the "Cheshire Ring". The weather was poor and I did not take that many pictures, however the holiday was memorable for all 6 boats' crews crammed into the "Newton Brewery" pub in Middlewich on the last night.
