Sunshine all the way as we pass through Worsley.
A pleasant picturesque spot.
A lighthouse........
A land locked boat......
It can only be by Parrin Lane Bridge, on the edge of Patricroft.
Its on to Barton Swing Aquaduct
which passes over the Manchester Ship Canal
Just room for oncoming traffic.
Another missed retail therapy experience......one day Captain Trev .........
We take a left at Waters Meeting and on to uncharted territory towards Manchester.
Passed Old Trafford
The Metrolink towers above the canal here.
A neglected Paloma Lock which joins the Bridgewater with the Ship Canal and gives access to Salford Quays. This passage has to be booked and a special licence required.
We reach Castlefield Quay Manchester
The Bridgewater was dug to carry the Duke's coal from Worsley to the marketplace of Manchester It soon developed as a general carrier and numerous warehouses sprang into being at Castlefield.
8 miles and 3 hours of lock free cruising.
