Canal Map Quiz answers

 If you're still pondering the results of the picture quiz in my previous post and don't want the answers yet, look away now.

For the rest of us here are the answers.

A. is the ring formed by the Limehouse cut, the Hertford Union (Duckett's cut) and the Regents canal.

B. is the ring formed by going up the Thames past Port Meadow in Oxford, then along the Duke's cut and back down the Oxford canal (or the other way round of course)

C. Is the incredibly tortuous stretch of the upper Thames upstream of Rushey lock where the tiller never stops swinging.

D. Is the ridiculously wandering route over the summit of the Oxford canal between Napton and Fenny Compton

E. Shows the Marsworth lock flight on The Grand Union between the Wendover Arm and the Aylesbury Arm.

F. Is on the Caldon canal where the branch to Leek crosses over the branch to Consall Forge

G. Is the complex where the boater rides the tide between Salters Lode and Denver Sluice. Once navigated, never forgotten.

H. is just past the Northern end of the Harecastle tunnel where the Macclesfield canal leaves the Trent and Mersey canal and crosses over it.

I.  Is the canal basin at Market Harborough - nice place!

J. Shows the distinctive shape of canal basin at Coventry.

How did you do?
