Introduction

This open route traverses the state of Maryland from its lowest natural point (sea level) to its highest point atop Backbone Mountain: Hoye-Crest.

This variation is gaining in popularity and the existence of a proper record board is due.

Follows this historic canal, built during the industrial revolution, from its start in Birmingham, along 58 locks, to its end at the river Severn in Worcester. Mainly follows the towpath, with a few established diversion where the canal goes through tunnels.
