2nd August 2019 Following a rest day in Melling, we have now been joined by two other Bickerboats Dreamtime and Goldilocks, for our journey from Melling to Haskayne. This trip is 6 miles and should take us about 3 hours and has 5 swing bridges, which we all took turns in operating. We travel through a mix of urban and rural countryside passing the towns of Maghull and Lydiate before mooring in the village of Haskayne near the Ship Inn, reputed to have been the first pub on the Leeds and Liverpool canal, as digging for the canal was reported to have been started in the nearby cutting.
