It was a really enjoyable return trip. Easy going and good company. We tied for the night on the Rochdale in central Manchester. Some of us sampled the delights of a wonderful, ornate, unspoiled Victorian pub called Peveril of the Peak. Up the Ashton locks we were mob handed, which made for easy going. The towpath was closed at lock 3 so Hazel had to be shafted through that pound.
