MNTV member Liz Whalley gave a great tour of Manchester City centre. It's amazing how many obvious things one becomes oblivious to in their local city. We were all made to realise how much there is to see in Manchester and what a great city it is now. The sunshine had drawn everybody out to sit on lawns and chat or enjoy a drink in a beer garden so there was a vibrant atmosphere. Although is was quite sobering as we remembered Manchester's impressive industrial history and saw key areas now packed with crowds enjoying the sun with a drink. Walking along the canal to the Castlefield area the canal was overflowing; initially we were able to dodge the floods but there came a point where the entire tow path was underwater. I was impressed by the determination of the group to continue regardless; we paddled along the tow path or shimmied along the hand rail undeterred. We ended the afternoon with tapas and a well-deserved sit down!
