We left early, anxious to get to Braidbar Boatyard at Higher Poynton before the bank holiday closure. Just after the lifting bridge round the corner we passed two boats, and then saw nothing moving until the bottom of Marple Flight. The 16 locks in this flight are deep but easy to work. Arriving at the top it was mayhem with boats everywhere. I am sure that we have seen more boats moving in this short stretch of the Macclesfield Canal that we have seen moving for the last two weeks. However, I suppose it is the bank holiday weekend!
The boat is booked in at Braidbar Boats for some maintenance. Full report on the Maintenance Section when details are available.
