​We leave Scarisbrick Marina after spending three weeks there, following a prop change, bottom blacking and paint retouching.  We travel onto to Burscough, negotiating 2 swing bridges, where we pick up some grocery shopping and stop overnight. On leaving Burscough,  we stop at the boaters facilities before passing the lovely arched bridge dated 1816, which is entrance to the Rufford Branch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. We exited here 8 weeks ago!
The canal meanders through the flat countryside towards Parbold with its ancient sail less windmill.  We moor just past bridge 40 in the Douglas Valley, a pretty narrow wooded valley which the canal shares with the railway.
