Bosley Locks
Weather much improved - cloudy but dry. We left the mooring at 8:45 and reached the 12 lock Bosley flight, the only real locks on the Macclesfield canal.
The trip up the flight was easy, aided by the number of boats coming down ensuring that almost every lock was empty, ready for us to enter. We moored at the top of the flight for lunch and set off again at 13:30, mooring again just outside Macclesfield at 16:00. This section of the canal through the foothills of the Pennines was very attractive with wooded cuttings, high embankments, pasture with sheep and cows, rounded off with the views of the high hills.
The Macclesfield canal is certainly now in our list of favourites.
