Changing of the cow
They now have a new cow outside the art gallery. If they’re going to move them around that makes my job so much harder.

Single to manchester
Well, if you’ve been reading all about my adventures cycling along the Rochdale canal, then i can safely say i’ve managed to moblog. That’s number 40 off the list. The suggestion box is open for new challenges.
One thing i should have checked before i set out- Rochdale Canal extends beyond rochdale itself, going on to Halifax. Damn those wacky industrial revolutionaries and their naming conventions!
Next time i may go all the way to halifax (do canals have sources the way rivers do?) but, if this means i’ve kicked my cycling funk, i’ll probably try the ship canal adventure next week.
If i’m going to carry on moblogging I ought to find out what the data tariff is on my contract.
Onwards or back?
Well, i’ve made it to lock 46 and Littleborough. The question is, should i continue?
K have pondered this and i believe i should. I’ll catch a train back to manchester at the next station.
I still wish i could send pictures, it’s lovely out here.
Lock 53
Or 52, i’m not sure. It’s a shame i haven’t mastered sending pictures to the site from the phone, or i could show you the lovely new lock they’ve built here.
Never mind, i’ll take a picture and post it later.
I guess that lock 1 is in rochdale Itself, so i still have a fair way to go. I’ll turn around somewhere in the forties i reckon.
