Takin' Our Time Moored at Dukinfield Junction, just onto the Peak Forest Canal last week I was talking to two fellow boaters. They were asking about the journey through Manchester and wondering if it really was safe, and how long it took. I think I worried them a little when I explained it had taken three of us some four hours to climb the Rochdale nine locks – and that was when we were fresh in the morning. They would be facing the Rochdale nine locks later in the afternoon, after tiring themselves out on the Ashton Canal.  There were just two of them because one of the family had appendicitis and another was keeping them company back at home. They set off very early the following morning, before we were up to wish them good luck. This morning we passed the boat safely on their home mooring near Barbridge Junction so I assume they arrived safely. So, K or M Jones from Takin’ Our Time, leaves us a comment to say how you got on through Manchester. Posted on Friday, 10 August 2007 at 18:39 Comments (3)

Hello,
sorry it has taken 2 years to find your posting. Thank you for the kind words. Our son is now fully recovered (from appendicitis) and his mom from not having a holiday. Manchester was not too bad. The route in looks bad but they are trying to clean it up. Moored in the city centre fine and went shopping. Joined another boat for the trip out through the city locks (some of them would have been hard on our own).
Thanks again.

Keith & Mandy: That’s great news that your son is now fully recovered and your trip was completed safely.
I wonder how you came to find this post nearly 2 years later
