We had no intention of stopping at Romily and when you see the moorings you will see why, there was a sunken boat here. Its such a shame as it is very pretty in places.
We thought we would moor just before Marple Aqueduct, but the moorings were a bit dark and dingy and we ended up going over this amazing piece of engineering.
Once across here you then have to go up the Marple flight of sixteen locks. The good thing was the weather had changed and these locks turned out to be very pretty.
We got to the top after about three hours and Al was exhausted, we turned left staying on the Peak Forest.
The views at the top made it all worth it but we just couldn't get moored up..
We tried in about five or six places before we found a spot, and even though our back was out, what a nice spot it was.
It was 7.00pm when we moored up but it was pleasant cruising with some fantastic scenery.. Phew!
