Getting ready for a short trip

We are setting off tomorrow morning for a short break. We have stocked up on the important stuff, beer, cider and wine and a bit of food! Just got to throw a few clothes in a bag and we will be ready to set off early tomorrow morning.

We are not going far. We are heading north for a change. Along the Bridgewater and on to the Leigh Branch probably as far as Dover Lock. We probably won't go further than that as we haven't the time (or inclination) to go up the Wigan Flight this time.




We have bought one of these mobile broadband things from Three. It was £49.99 and is on pay as you go, which suits us much better than a monthly contract. We only need it when we go out cruising. You get 1GB for £10, 3GB for £15 or 7GB for£25. Each top up is valid for 30 days. Hopefully we will have better luck updating the blog while we are out than we did on our trip last year. We are actually trying it out now but it has disconnecected twice already, and that's in a good reception area. Let's hope it works on the cut other wise thats £49.99 wasted!
