Hurleston Junction  SU  Compare 23Sep2010   30Oct2014

 

We winded at Hurleston Junction a couple of years ago.

Oh the look on the faces of all the boaters queuing along the towpath to go up the flight  as we happily motored past them heading south, then steered the bows straight towards the bottom lock, while the boat tied immediately below the lock hastily untied his ropes and pushed his bows out as if to stop us pinching his place! 😃

HNC Lock 10W and above the lock.

Copperkins ascending the lockl as the first boat to make this journey from Stalybridge since the restoration. The canals had been closed by the Foot-and-Mouth outbreak, and so the opening of the restored canal had been postponed until this day, with only local publicity about the arrangements. So it was a major surprise to arrive below the locks at Stalybridge to find a small group of boats coming down the locks, having performed the opening ceremony

Yes, thanks: I'd found an entirely new way to annoy the nice MrGoogle, who has now hopefully relented.
