4 hours 16 locks and a little helper turned up windlass in hand to help us through. Hope it was worth the pint at the end Kevin.................you were a big help.

Lots of gongoozlers once we started to get into Marple. I don't think I've answered the same questions so many times in one day!! But then what goes around comes around..............we used to be exactly the same.

All the locks on the Marple Flight are pretty deep.

The end is in sight!

On to Bugsworth Basin tomorrow........................
