Hi there! I'm Stephen from Mickleover, Derby. I've recently decided to join this forum after 'lurking' in the background for a little while.
Both myself and my wife are both in our mid/lete twenties and are just about to embark upon our first day-hire together from Barton marina, but we're both really confident that we will absolutely love the experience although I've had a little waterways experience on the Great Ouse from my childhood days.
Inevitably we'll be looking to purchase a boat somewhere down the line
If anyone's local (Willington/Stenson/Barton etc) I'd be happy to assist with weekend maintenance etc in return for learning about upkeep etc.
Cheers for now.
