You'll see a list of canal sections. Hint you started at Salford Junction. Find that and put in your start time in the box. Then the time you left the section in the end time box. Salford Junction will be mentioned more than once as it is the end point of several sections so check when you get to the other end your on the correct section. Ask your crew for the junction names they should know. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I can see Salford Junction mentioned 3 times - line 51, line 61 and line 63 but none of those correspond with our journey Rob is saying it is on his version but Alan has looked and can't see it on mine when folks aren't working locks we will check again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
