Continue my march on the Peak Forest Canal/Carlos Pueblo
Marple Canal
is also called the Peak Forest Canal with 16 locks and
a famous
Aqueduct on the northward edge toward Stockport, another
small
township. I was on lock 10th when I stopped on my previous article
with a very
interesting canal export for a conversation of British Canals.
I saw a very
gorgeous English bulldog coming up with her owner exhausted
due to
uphill hiking. I saw many pet dogs exhausted after the canals
hiking in
the morning. I have had a paradise feeling passing through the
canal area;
therefore, I do have repeated hiking before I leave Manchester.
After each
lock, the waterway becomes wider like a small pond before the
next connected
lock. Someone answered my fish question, it is a kind of
carp not
what I saw on the classical English movies, eels.
Aqueduct
House is right after Lock 1, a very beautiful brick house with a lovely
garden of
blooming flowers. The original canal developer built the Marple
Aqueduct
across the River Goyt with an ancient Roman design instead of a
modern at
that time some 220 years ago by a New Yorker with steel and beam.
Aqueduct is
a waterway to get the water passed on a platform to continue the
voyage of
the canal. An old gentleman chatted with me on the side of an exit
about the
Aqueduct, a place of his childhood playground. I told him that bridge
picture in
the information center in Manchester drawn me to this part of England.
I did reach
the Romiley Station, another small township to get on a return train
To Manchester
and on my second trip to Marple several days later, I marched
further north
to another township called Woodley.
There are
2000 miles of such canals still existed in England and well maintained
after 200
years. Some of them become leisure usage for some people for traveling.
It takes
about 45 minutes to pass a lock and a long time to make a trip by canals.
Some of them
become a park, beautiful park for urban citizens hiking and exercises.
The canals
and Rivers in the United Kingdom is managed by a philanthropic organization
Called,
Canals & River Trust. There are regulations to followed. My neighbor Ed and
Karen
are going to
Leeds to take on a barge, a kind of house boat, to travel 30 miles toward
Liverpool.
Now I understand how and why for that popular route of 138 miles to have
A feeling in
30 miles.
