Like your Home run Trev - Down To Keadby then across to the Rochdale & back down the Macclesfield & T&M.
Looks like it might be our hardest trip yet (Although less miles n locks than we have done in the past .
Updates to follow on route !!!!

the only commercial place we stopped was stanley ferry,otherwise countryside moorings(our choice)..found out enroute you need to book tuel lane deep lock,joining c&h with rochdale,day before..awesome lock with a good chippy close by :)..hebden is a lovely place to moor but can be busy mooringwise.. Todmorden is ok,grandma pollards chippy at walsden nom nom,there's a nice pub at summitand quiet moorings.. littleborough is quiet,Rochdale town NO!!a couple of hours further on Castleton is a canalside pub with moorings called the Hogarth, good food..a couple of locks further is the ship,but we didnt try there..its about an hour from there to lock 63, 2 up from the ashton flight,but about an hour in distance

Also S&SYN (Keadby to Aire & Calder)
Aire & Calder
Calder & Hebble
Also best place to stop before the Ashton Flight
& moorings on the Macc (Not traversed since the 80's)
