Hi Doorman yes iam a very keen boater love hiring in the the winter! yes on Saturday morning whne we left our overnight mooring at Barbridge Junc there was an old chap on the Junction asking us to be very careful passing his wooden boat moored up. when we passed the boat he was shouting at us saying we shouldnt be moving in this weather! it was all good fun!

i dont think it was personally

i just cant beleive that such a good boating community turns into such a horrible nasty group of backstabbers and nasty people. iam 23 and had a fair few holidays on the canal around 8/10 a year. but i suffer with dyslexia. and yes i have passed my RYA inland waterways just because i cant spell doesnt mean i cant skipper a boat. or help out a single handed skipper doing locks etc. and were i have promoted myself??? if you read it properly it says " to help people skipper there boat!

hi there the wilk i i live in princes dock and i remember seeing you pass through a few weeks ago. are still moored in basin or did u move to the marina?

having just spent 10 fine days on a hire boat from middlewich we was moored up by whitchurch wednesday night & the whitchurch arm was frozen over then on friday night was moored at barbridge junction and was frozen in 1 inch of ice and saturday morning had to ice break all along the middlewich branch sometimes breaking through 3inches of ice.

Hi am a young 23 single male from widnes nr liverpool iam an experinced boaters having passed my RYA and have been on huindreds off boating holiday. iam looking to make freinds in the boating comunity and help people skipper there boats. can travel anywere in uk. PM me for more info

Congratulatons wishing you many happy boating times to come!!!

yes we was on the Llangollen canal in october and was a really problem then

hi cotswoldman yes checked for stoppages middlewich branch clear and shroppie clear to hurlston junc and llangollen clear to llangollen but there is a stoppage on the llangollen right up at the top end but wouldnt affect cruisng and you can still get to the basin at llangollen but it says the levels ae low! we are leavinng middlewich at 11 o clock so will most prob just potter down to barbridge junc

hi thanks for your reply prob just moor up at barbridge junc for the night. as logn as we have a nice warm pub that does food is this the case at barbridge junc?

thanks very mich for your fast reply " soldthehouse" it says 9 hours but i have seen somewere over last few days that it was only 4 hours so now slighty confused! "doesnt take much i may add" not too fussed to be honest just wondering were our first over night mooring will be as long as we make barbridge junc "doesnt take much i may add" thanks David and Julie that sounds a bit more realistic! hapy cruisng DAVE

Hi fellow forums members. this is my first topic so please be gentle!!! iam setting off from Middlewich on Thurs and was wondering how long it would take to cruise up to Wrenbury? have done the Llangollen canal lots of times but always started at Ellsmere or Trevor so never been the full lengh only as far down as Wrenbury so will be nice to see Hurlston Junc/locks. This will also be my first Winter cruise. have cruised in late october and early march every year though so not much difference only the hours of day light! happy boating Dave
