Enjoying the Scenery


Leaving Congleton


We are making our way slowly along the Macclesfield.  The scenery is lovely, it is a very rural canal and unusual that it was built up onto embankments in many areas.  We arrived at Congleton on Monday and went exploring.  On Monday on our bikes to a Farm Shop, then on Tuesday we explored the town.  Fairly small with lots of old building with lots of character.  We walked as far as the River Dane where there was a pretty park before doing some shopping and catching the bus back.  We left yesterday and after an overnight stop today we have climbed the 12 Bosley Locks.  Some quite deep, but apart from one shallow lock just after we came of the Trent and Mersey these are the only locks on the canal.  Tomorrow we should arrive in Macclesfield where we will stop for a couple of days.
Lock 12 done lock 11 coming into view. Only 10 more after that!
