Macclesfield Canal:Fourlane Ends

A short run today.  Reached the outskirts of Bollington, but the housing seemed to go on for ever, then a boatyard and all the time I was expecting to see the iconic Clarence Mill.  Eventually I did, but then that was the end of Bollington.  The aqueduct is certainly impressive, or should I say it’s height over the building so low below.   I wanted to stage the last part of my journey to Higher Poynton, by stopping short for the night as I imagined that there would be a time limit on moorings for the weekend.   So stopped at Fourlane Ends on the 48 hour mooring before bridge 18.   I thought I would visit the “Miners Arms” after lunch, and got there to find it closed, looking very sad and dejected.
