点评:Having heard some bad stories about the locks through Manchester we set off early on Sunday morning from Piccadilly Basin where we had a safe and peaceful night, i would recommend this area to stop overnight as there is both towpath accessible mooring or non accessible mooring behind morrisons, there were very few boats around. There were quite a few boats in Islington basin which i am told is also safe.
Anyway we left at 6.30 and were through all nine locks down to the Bridgewater at Castlefields by 10.30, we were the only boat moving, quite a few moored around Castlefields though.
Under the underpassess there were a few drunk / homeless people around but no hassle really. i would not be worried about doing this trip again during the day time
Most of the locks were full on arrival as the overflow on many seems to be over the top of the lock gate, the gates are big and heavy and do take some moving.
翻译:听到一些关于曼彻斯特船闸的坏故事后,我们周日一早从皮卡迪利盆地出发,在那里我们度过了一个安全宁静的夜晚,我建议在这个地区停留过夜,因为莫里森后面有拖道可进入的系泊处或不可进入的系泊处,周围的船很少。伊斯灵顿盆地有很多船,我被告知也很安全。
不管怎样,我们在 6.30 出发,并在 10.30 穿过所有九个船闸到达卡斯尔菲尔德的布里奇沃特,我们是唯一移动的船,不过有不少船停泊在卡斯尔菲尔德附近。
在地下通道下,周围有一些醉酒/无家可归的人,但确实没有麻烦。我不会担心白天再次进行这次旅行
大多数船闸在到达时都已满,因为许多船闸的溢出似乎超出了船闸门的顶部,门又大又重,确实需要一些移动。
