Geocache Description:

The cache is a small clic box in a camo bag with some goodies inside.

The Manchester Ship Canal was opened on 21 May 1894 and stretches 36 miles from Manchester to Liverpool in the North West of England. It is occasionally known as the “Big Ditch” and at the time of its completion, was the largest canal in the world. The canal is the eigth longest ship canal in the world and is Britain’s third busiest port, even if it is 40 miles away from the sea. The ‘Big Ditch’ combines the Irwell and Mersey Rivers, made to navigate ships to the Irish Sea from the industrial Salford Docks in Greater Manchester to the Mersey Estuary. Manchester became a major sea port from an industrial city, transforming the cities. The Penny Ferry has been there since the canal has been built, there was a footpath going across before the canal was there. And with the act of parliment, had to keep the path open, so the cheapest way is to put a ferry crossing there. Ferry Opening Times:- 0700-0900 1200-1400 1600-1800 Sunday & Bank Hols:- 1200-1400 1600-1800 Ferry Fee 0.11p Each Way. Thanks to the Harbour Master Alan Feast and the Ferry Master Kevin Wilkinson for their kind permission to lay the cache.
