Cerys complements the festival by looking at the city's canals with Dr. Keith Hendry and the rise of climbing with James Lister from The Climbing Depot.
Dr. Keith Hendry is a retired aquatic scientist and with many years’ experiences in water quality and fisheries management in rivers, estuaries, lakes, reservoirs and canals. He is part of a team whose work enabled the restoration of the Manchester Ship Canal and the wider Quays redevelopment.
Cerys takes a trip to The Climbing Depot in Manchester to investigate the rise of suburban climbing in the city and engage with some local climbers.
