Bank holiday boat trip . . .

. . . up to Marple junction, 5 mins from our house. It's open again now for boats, though there is still work being done to the retaining wall (right) below the houses.Through the bridge and look behind you . . . . . . then look left towards top lock, the first of 16, heading down towards Manchester on the Peak Forest canal.

Now actually, this is going in the other direction from our house, but never mind, just enjoy the tranquil scene!And over this bridge traffic roars, or crawls, along the A6, depending on the time of day.

And we're just approaching our wharf somewhere here, after a relaxing trip.
