Cheshire Ring Canal Walk - Lymm to Anderton

Been here before??!!!

Final leg of Cheshire Ring Canal walked today :-) 

16.90 miles in 4 hours 44 minutes.

Felt like I could of spent more time on public transport than walking today! Was a train from Congleton to Manchester. Then the metro out to Altrincham, short wait then a bus to Lymm before I could start walking again!

Once I finished it was down towards Northwich, stopped waiting for a bus and thought it was running late! I'd read the times for Monday to Friday not Saturday! So once more my feet carried me down the hill before deciding to wait for the bus!

Refueling with McDs chilli chicken wrap (very nice), fries and a wake me up! Coke I waited for another bus to Sandbach. Changing at Sandbach final bus journey home!!

Few runners on the canal paths today, not joggers! but proper runners. One bloke in his 50s gave me calf envy!! Looks like with lots of cycling, lots of running gives you good calves!!

Twice women canal drivers gave me a laugh! Near to Daresbury Science Park (Main tower suddenly appears on the horizon and makes you think what the f*ck!! is it?!) a group looked like they were trying to run a barge aground! Signs clearly said no public mooring etc!

Then near to Anderton two women struggled to avoid oncoming barges on a corner!!

So...... it's time to put my feet up in relation! to canal walking for a bit. Quite fancy doing the Scottish Caledonian Canal at some point. 

Tomorrow I'll update my graph! and mention the highs and lows! whilst doing the whole 97 miles.
