Earlier today Trafford Rowing Club held it’s annual head race event on the Bridgewater Canal between Seamons Moss Bridge in Altrincham and Marsland Road Bridge in Sale. In an email received earlier from Mike Webb, delays of upto one hour may be experienced between the hours of 10am and 3pm. There certainly was! Quite a number of boats pass the moorings on the average weekend but only one came passed today, as our moorings end (or finish, whichever way you want to look at it) at Marsland Road Bridge. This boat was “Stamford” which I think was a Large Northwich built at Yarwoods and was semi converted. They had to hold back for around half an hour or so before continuing their journey southwards. After 4pm though, quite a number of boats started to pass but it was all quiet again, as usual, by around 5pm.
