Very cool!! Another road trip I would never get to go on. Thank you!! Can you tell us more about the canal shot? We have the Ohio canal close, but it no longer is working. Just a few spots still have the locks in place. It looks like yours is still a working one.

thanks for showing us a life we rarely see on this side of the pond. The history nut in me has to ask, who is Eric Morecambe, and why does he deserve a statue and a bay named after him? inquiring minds must know

I don't think Morcambe Bay was named after Eric ? Eric Morcambe was one half of a comedy duo 'Morcambe and Wise' very funny 70s & 80s in the UK, It brings back memories. I now live in Aus but was back in the UK for the whole of 2003 and visited all these places with my wife and daughter, loved Chester, nice photo.

Pics were taken on the Leeds/Liverpool canal, yes canals still in use, but mostly for pleasure cruising.
