Hi all, Im looking for info please. Ive just sold my 57 foot boat Margor, the guy who bought her wants to be on the peak forrest canal, im presently on the bridgewater.

The plan was to go up rochdale 9 but theres a closure marple locks until may. Ive looked on crt website for closures going the other way trent and mersey but the site is not that easy to understand.. Or im a bit thick. Can this journey be made or is he stranded. Many thanks in advance.

Simple, Bridgewater  through Altrincham to Trent and Mersey, through Middlewich, up Cheshire locks to Red Bull, turn right into Macclesfield canal up tp Marple , turn right for Peak Forest.

 

https://canalplan.org.uk/cgi-bin/canal.cgi and load start and end with Middlewich as middle, it will work it all out for you.

So from next week no stoppages on trent and mersey then.

I worry for your buyer if you're having to work this out for them and spoon feed like this. When we bought our boat, the planning and execution of the move plan (the voyage took from mid January to mid March due to a plethora of stoppages) was a fabulous part of our new ownership experience which we still remember fondly years on.
