Back at Marple Junction we started the decent after spending time in the high country. This was the beginning of flights of locks. It’s best to begin the flights early in the morning hoping to meet boats coming up which helps share the opening and closing of locks. Marple locks consisting of 16 would bring us down 208’, after a well earned Nanna nap 💤 we strolled into Romiley and found a nice Pub to save cooking. Sunday we went to ‘The Church of the Nazarene’ at Ashton, great singing as they had a group from America like MMM. We met up with them again as we left on our way in the afternoon as they had lunch at the Museum then a cruise down the canal. It was good to have two days without locks as there were 18 locks on the Ashton and would you believe we only passed one boat for the day, it was hard work. Now we will see some of the sights of Manchester over the next couple of days.
