The part I'm most familiar with is the section which follows the Mersey Valley along its meandering course in-between the river's source in Stockport and the place where the same course is obliterated by the Manchester Ship Canal somewhere beyond Carrington Moss.
The route is well signposted and, in the main, is bike friendly with only a few obstacles in the way for you to negotiate.
The main issue with this section though is that it is very much a shared surface. While it may not be a problem for many cyclists to share the path with joggers, horses, dogs and push-chairs, it's not really conducive to the continuity of riding you might be after.
That said, it's a lovely place to visit with loads of wildlife to spot too - you can even get a pint at Jackson's Bridge if you like.
I can imagine hat riding the length of this route would be a great thing to do - maybe this is one for the spring?
