Bottom of Marple locks through to Romiley is quiet. At the bottom of the Ashton canal there is a basin on the left that has a security gate. Usually the locals will tell you what the number is so you can get in and out on foot. Probably not too many about though at the moment. 
I would say anywhere on the Bridgewater is safe but it is a commuter towpath these days so not really quiet until you get beyond Altrincham but you are almost at Lymm by then.

I have only just noticed your post. When do you intend doing the trip?

In the past I have had an early start and travelled from Dukinfield to Castlefield in a day. But that was before there were secure moorings at both Portland basin and Piccadilly which  is handy if you want to break up the journey.

I loved Piccadilly Basin....I even poled the boat out so we didn't wake the neighbours in the morning with the JP!....I think you now need a fob rather than a code to get in/out so dont plan on leaving the boat to escape to the outside world...makes it very safe!
