The start of the climb
No climbing today, as it happens, when the lock system is icebound but here we are at number 1 lock of the Marple flight on the Peak Forest Canal. 16 locks will lift you 209' over the next mile and a half, or so. Each lock lifts the boat about 13' and the passage through each lock takes a scarcely believable 44,000 gallons of water.

Marple Locks No 2 east of Stockport
Marple Locks No 2, looking north-west towards Stockport and Manchester.
The Marple flight on the Peak Forest Canal consists of sixteen deep locks in a mile. The total fall (or rise) provided is 209ft 6in (almost 64 metres). The canal was opened to navigation by 1796 but not enough money remained to build these locks. A temporary tramway was installed and used until 1804, when the locks were completed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marple_Lock_Flight

Narrow boat at Marple Locks No 2, Stockport
Although locks on the canal system are almost all built for narrowboats up to seventy feet (21·6 metres) in length, with drafts of up to almost three feet (one metre), vessels of considerably smaller dimensions are often seen making use of the facilities.
I did not see a licence displayed on this craft.
