After our spell down on the Weaver with no internet and minimal phone and tv reception.
we have moved on from the Anderton lift going through three long tunnels on the Trent Mersey canal
One being 572 yards, the next 424 yards the last being 1239 yards.
This then led us onto the Bridgewater canal and a long easy run up into the centre of Manchester where we are now moored for a few days , almost next to the Hilton Hotel , allowing us to explore some of the city and rest up before we tackle the infamous ascent of the Rochdale nine locks having already walked them we feel that although they do look difficult and run through some less pleasant areas of the city we will manage them ok on Friday morning
Moored on The River Weaver
|Waiting to enter one of the Weaver locks
Now in Manchester city centre with many layers of transport canals at the bottom , roads next then two layers of railways on top
Our mooring at night with the Hilton hotel behind
