South by NorthWest

With the culvert fully repaired we finally got the go ahead to travel south, and we’re facing the right direction

Leaving the middle arm at Bugsworth

But of course to get off the Peak Forest Canal back onto the Macc, we had to travel north. Confused? Yes, perhaps this is what happens when  you hang around too long.

And this canal really gets its grip on you

Is this art? Or does someone just have too much time on their hands?

There’s definitely some odd characters on this canal

But we were happy to finally be cruising with a purpose, and it was mild enough not to need our thick coats on. No more sitting around, watching the world go by

Just enjoying the views

Looking back towards High Peak

And at last turning south back onto the Macc
