Moving On

Some low bridges on this stretch


We left Marple on Wednesday filling with water and having coffee before setting off for the 16 locks leading down towards Ashton-Under-Lyne.  The weather wasn’t very good but the forecast was showers so we decided to press on.  Not a good idea as the rain didn’t stop just got heavier and heavier.  I did take the boat for a few locks leaving Paul with the windlass.  We were very glad to reach the bottom, finding a mooring about 3 not yet having had our lunch!  The weather has been a bit better since, but definite lack of sun.  We are about a mile from the end of the Peak Forest Canal, having explored Romiley and Hyde along the way.  We had planned to get the bikes down and have a look at the junction but so far this morning is has been thick drizzle!  Think we might head out anyway.
