All Along the Rochdale
On our way back to Bracknell from the wedding in Huddersfield, we stopped off at Manchester, where we had an hour's wait before our train.

I wasn't convinced at first, but after dodging trams and cyclists we found ourselves on the diverse and vibrant Canal Street alongside the Rochdale canal.
Maybe one day we'll be along here on the Duck- though hopefully not with the cooling system we've got at the moment, the water was full of rubbish and plastic bags!
