Philip, The Rochdale Canal features in the only trip report currently on Beatty's (our boat's) website. The trip begins on the Bridgewater Canal on this page: http://nbbeatty.co.uk/Trip_1_p1.htm The Rochdale is a very interesting canal with the contrast of beginning in urban Manchester (at least the way round we did it) and moving into very rural areas. It is also very pretty especially towards the eastern end. There are lots of locks to do and it is necessary to book the locks after the first 9 through Manchester (Nos. 83 - 65, if my counting is correct) and the summit pound. Ben
