Sunday night now we have moved on nine and a half miles along the Peak Forest canal leaving the city way behind thank goodness our mooring for a night or two is at the start Marple flight of locks sixteen in all which will lift us two hundred and fourteen feet up to the start of the Macclesfield canal
and eventually onward  to our mooring ready to return home in a few days time this means that we will have completed the Cheshire ring.
It is nice to be moored in the country side again no pubs or roads near enough to be a nuisance
The nearest house is a quarter of  mile away  on a hill at the opposite side of the canal.

The marples aquaduct with the railway viaduct next to it

this is the view as you cross the aquaduct there is no guard rail on the outside just a sheer drop 

the start of the Marple flight

Moored up for tonight with a nice rural view
