THE SOUTH PENNINE RING PART 1: ROCHDALE AND ASHTON CANALS

摘要

The cover to this guide carries the words 'written by people who go there', and to make the point not only does author and waterways activist John Lower's own boat appear in several photos, but he also includes personal memories of the long campaign to restore the Rochdale Canal.rnEasy-to-follow maps show navigation features and useful local facilities, while the accompanying text describes the rugged Pennine scenery as well as giving useful navigation notes and tips. But this isn't just a guide for boaters: it includes notes on towpath condition, public transport links, an index of pubs, and details of several circular walks taking in the Rochdale Canal reservoirs - and it comes in a plastic cover to protect it when the northern weather lives up to the stereotype.
