On the banks of what's left of the old course of the River Irlwell

Please try to put more than "Found" or just "TFTC" in your logs
The River Irwell is a 39-mile (63 km) long river which flows through the Irwell Valley in Lancashire and Greater Manchester, in North West England.
Its source is at Irwell Springs on Deerplay Moor, just north of Bacup, Lancashire.
It is the boundary between Manchester and Salford, and empties into the River Mersey near Irlam.
During the 17th and 18th centuries the Irwell's lower reaches were a trading route that became part of the Mersey and Irwell Navigation. In the 19th century the river's course downstream of Manchester was permanently altered by the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal, which opened in 1896.
The canal turned Manchester and Salford into a major sea port and led to the development of Trafford Park, which became the largest industrial estate in Europe.
The main A57 is a busy “Clearway” you can’t even stop on it !
So I would highly recommend going into Irlam and parking at N 53 26.786 W 02 24.737

LOG ETIQUETTE: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches.
As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide,
or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
