Description
This route is a minor update to Manfai one with an improved and more direct route through Manchester city centre and a more accurate GPX plot.
This route joins the Rochdale Canal towpath at Great Ancoats Street and follows it all the way to Failsworth. It is a pleasant off-road walk for such an urban location. Note that the route passes through some very deprived parts of the city and you are likely to encounter substantial amounts of litter, fly tipping and graffiti

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
