Stockport to Dublin without even going on a public road possible?

[amazingtrade]

I have always wanted to go on a bit of an adventure on the cheap and also something local. I have been studying google maps and I wonder.

Would it be possible to get from Stockport to Dublin without going on a road? My plan is to cycle down the path of the mersey then via the ship canal until it becomes the mersey again in Warrington. I reckon this will be a 60 mile cycle, then get a boat to dublin.

My question is would their be too many obsticles in the built up bit?

Just wondered if anybody has experience of this area, I know the mersey valley in south Manchester well but thats it.

Fallen out with the Fiesta then?

think he just wants to make sure he'll actually make it...

Whats the fun in that? M60, east lancs, liverpool. My idea was to do something a bit more unique with obsticles in the way, only on a simple and local level.

From the way you describe your cars I would have thought Dublin and back would be a major achievement!

The main thing wrong with my Fiesta is the driver Oh and the clutch. I am keeping it until I find the perfect car, that way I won't be rushed into anything. On the hand I am only doing 20-30 miles a week atm.

I dont think you can get to the ferry terminal without using a road.

I would have to cheat where I have to. I know Stockport for example you cannot get to the banks of the mersey as it is all built up or over. But I think from Heaton Mersey onwards its pretty much all countryside.
