MrsB

Thank you for your replies, Puckle, Sjc and John6767 we do plan to visit late September. Does anyone have any other suggestions of Marinas to moor in half way between Walsall and Worcester? We will be both working full time for a while so will want a Marina..... Many thanks Mrs B

Hi old Goat, thanks for the reply, yes, I've been on their website and also used google maps and google earth........I will be visiting too if other half's job application is successful (fingers crossed) just wondering if any one has experiences of the marina they may like to share Many thanks

Hi everyone, if job applications go well, we will be looking at mooring at Droitwich Spa Marina. Could I have your thoughts please? I have a few questions eg, can you hear the motorway? is it a tranquil setting? does it feel safe? Any other thoughts, comments welcome.........thanks in advance.... Mrs B

Thanks everyone for your replies MrsB xx

Thanks for all your replies so far. I know it sounds a bit of a random 3 main concerns but after years of using a camperavan, space and toilets aren't really an issue. I have a real phobia of snakes and would simply die if I discovered one on board, lol. I have been happily doing the usual research about living aboard but this article really seemed negative. The snake issue was something I hadn't thought of and then I read that grass snakes are also water snakes and can be found in and around our canals. This is the article, what are your thoughts? livingonanarrowboat.co.uk/living-on-a-narrowboat-articles/its-not-all-roses-and-castles/ Many thanks for your time everyone MrsB

Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forum. I have been a guest for some time learning as much as I can about living on a boat and came across another forum with a lengthy thread a lady had written about the pitfalls of living aboard. I realise there was counter arguments but the article left me with 3 main concerns: 1. Privacy, 2. Vandalism 3. snakes!! Are they common and do they get on board?? I realise this is bit vague but could I have your thoughts on these areas, good or bad on any issue surrounding my three main concerns. Many thanks in advance MrsB x
