An image from July last year (but not developed until a couple of weeks ago).

Marple Junction is where the Peak Forest Canal and Macclesfield Canal meet and is an excellent location for a spot of ‘gongoozling’.

Another image from the Nikon TW20 today…

Great Northern Basin on the Cromford Canal at Langley Mill in Derbyshire. I say ‘Cromford Canal’ but the basin was originally part of the mostly abandoned Nottingham Canal that passed under what is now the A608 road just to the right of The Great Northern pub, visible in the background.
