'The best ever!'
•An annual mid- June event since the Millennium, the Water Weekend once again attracted visitors from far and wide to the Canal Basin
in the heart of Whaley Bridge
The 11th annual event carried a record total of over 1,100 passengers aboard its little 'armada' of canal boats. Organisers estimated the total attendance over the two days was nearly 2,000. Among the visitors was the new High Peak MP, Andrew Bingham, seen here aboard a steam engine.
'Water' in the name of any event tempts providence...
After a sunny Saturday, followed by a mostly dry Sunday,
the heavens opened - but the band played on...
Whaley Bridge is the home of W3... a friendly little town in the
High Peak area of Derbyshire... in an area of outstanding natural beauty...
known as the Gateway to the Goyt... 7 miles north of Buxton...
18 miles south of Manchester... 28 miles west of Sheffield
