    When we used to have a time share with canaltime okokok yes I no but we was newbies we had a few enjoyable nights in the Samuel Barlow on our last night before returning boat to Alvecote. Although did have a bad experience one night there that nearly put me off boating for life. But that's for another chapter

    the times I've rang around asking for quotes to hire Nantwich canal centre were the most expensive. In Nov 2010 I rang up to enquire about a boat they had then it had leather recliners & a long burner 4 berth can't remember name anyway I rang up the week I wanted it as a late deal & was quoted £1120 for 7 days hire now that's a peak time hire price not put of season I eventually hired Latch from Middlewich when it was run by Adam for about £400 and got 10 days on it. I never rang them again as was scared wot the would charge

  17. First time cruise suggestions?

    If recommend hiring from canal boat escapes Barnoldswick hired with them I think 2 years a go very family run outfit. Lovely boats we hired Grace & got to Leeds at RTN in a week but it was August so long days the route & views are just stunning there is a stretch were the canal is contouring the hills by zig zagging its way and really is just beautiful. The only problem we had was that some of the locks were manned but only between 8-3 I think and was locked up after this time so you couldn't self operate.

     

    Although you say that they would like to a ring so I'd highly recommend the four counties ring. Lots to see and do and includes the harecastle tunnel and the Cheshire locks

  20. Marinas within commuting distance of Knutsford?

    Well of course Tattenhall I moor there and would highly recommend it there but.....I thought it was a bit to far away. When I was looking for a mooring in oct Venetien marina said that the were upgrading the jetties so had half the marina missing and its on going till next July so couldn't take any new boaters in till then. Aquaduct has a waiting list got 50footer anyway.
