Ok then 'ere we go. The last senior National on the Bridgwater Canal was in 2003. It was the Division Four event run by the NFA and sponsored by Embassy. I can't tell you where I drew because I never fished the crappity smack Image Image Image Image

Yepp , thats the end of Timperley straight opposite Sale station Image then got Sale boats length and St Pauls through Sale station bridge ...... think the "straight" from Timperley to Sale town center is approx 4 mile long Image. The bridgy gets wider and deeper once into Trafford Park and up the "arm" into Manchester city center Image
