An interesting game! No, I can’t beat those.
Do you mean from Runcorn to Poolstock Bottom Lock (which isn’t what I would call Wigan Bottom Lock, though perhaps others do)? Canalplan AC makes that 42 miles, 5¼ furlongs, against 42 miles dead for the Lancaster Canal route, so different from yours/Nicholson’s, but the same order.

Stephen – thanks for the alternative measurements (I couldn’t fit Poolstock on one line so I cheated to call it Wigan).
Nobody else has spotted anything I missed – yet.

How about this one calculated using Canalplan AC:
Bevill’s Leam Pumping Station (Northeast Side)- Angle Corner – Flood’s Ferry – Well’s Bridge – Sixteen Foot Corner – Three Holes – Popham’s Eau End – Twenty Foot End – Angle Corner – Ashline Sluice
Total distance is 49 miles, 0 furlongs of broad canals and 0 locks (Not too sure about Sixteen foot River’s status)
Although the above does go through the same place twice if navigated to the left both times there would not be a crossing of path.

Don: That looks like a clever route. I’ll need to find a detailed map of the Middle Levels to check that out but it looks like you’re winning for now.
