Thank you very much I'll keep on researching... Cheers for all the replies...

Well, for example, do you think there is a need for a spot on it where one can stop his boat and get it maintained or grab a snack... that sort of thing... and I noticed the lack of water as well( I have got a picture but don't know how post it) it seems the council(or is it British waterways) doesn't do much. Is there enough traffic for any sort of viable use of the canal except as travel route. I am stressing more on the part of the canal that is in or near Manchester. It would be interesting to know how much traffic it gets

I am doing a study of the Rochdale Canal, its uses and how it fits in the 21st century. I have done all the main stuff like specifications and so on but what I am interested in is how do the people that use it see it: what do they want? Thank you in advance I would appreciate any type of feedback. (To the moderator of the site: I wasn't sure where to put this topic so if its in the wrong place can you please move it to a part of the forum which would be more accessible to common people) Thank you in advance...
