Paul c I merely have my reasons for not putting my boat at Venetian marina as I've had problems from the brokerage at whilton

Heartbreak hill really does break your heart! I couldn't move for 2 days one we moored up by red bull. When we did the 4CR in Aug this year. Iam moving to Tattenhall marina on Wed and can't wait

I haven't really Been on this forum long & the short Time I have i have realise it's full of obnoxious pr**ks.... I've nothing to do with Lakeland estates for the second time am just a youngish unsnobby boater. Somethink which the cut has very few off! I was mearly asking wot was different between Tattenhall & Aquaduct marina. Lonerowl i genuinely too love the stretch of the shroppie between Barbridge & Chester . So I had a choice of golden nook or Tattenhall the previous have no hook up. So I was asking about the marina Lonewolf even

Am from Liverpool but I like the shroppie towards Chester

Well love wolf I can assure you I have nothink to do with Lakeland leisure iam just putting my boat they this week. Not that i have to answer to any of you. Over water said they had a space but was for 60ft

Lonewolf I don't no why your hmmmm on your post but i rang up Aquaduct, Swanley & overwater & all three told me there was a waiting list for most sizes. Comfortable numb thanks for your comments regarding the pubs in Villages. Is that u Steve From Runcorn boat club?

Had a bit of a walk around tomorrow & from wot I can its beautiful but the weather isn't great so we shall see wot tomorrow brings

Thanks for all your replies. Yesterday I pick Briadbars hire boat Tiree up. Moored just outside Lord Verons Wharf last night. Today we set off at 8.30 & cruised down the "mac" to Marple & on the PF canal to Bugworth basin. We're we are now moored!! Truely beautiful here. & Tiree wot can I say its a braidbar :-)) Just had a few in the Navigation inn now back on board.

I haven't mentioned Venetian marina although wouldnt moor the anyway!

50foot

Cheers guys. adam ive been reading your blog over the last few days right from when you first bought brair rose. Excellent read!!!!

Hi does anyone no how far the village shops are from the moorings there by Lord vernons wharf??????????

aww shouldnt be too bad with central heating but id much prefer a boat with a stove! i no Norbury wharf on the shroppie hire all year &have a few boats with stoves. also Anglo welsh do have alovely 58ft 2 berth with a stove. and middlewich narrowboats

Hope the boat you have hired has a solid fuel stove fitted!!!!!!

well i have now reserved a space at tattenhall marina today to arrive next Tues. so looking forward to spending the winter there. i have a car so transport it not an issue.

Does anyone on here moor at the stated marina? As today I drove over to have a look round & see if they had any aviable moorings. They had quite a few think its only half full to be honest. Anyway wot do you think of the place how come its not full? When there is a waiting list at the likes of Aquaduct marina & Swanley. & overwater??

That's excellent news Paul well done. Sorry to see Moore ha retired I quite like that boat but it needed refurbing! Glad to hear about you getting 2 new sponsor boats.. When will theses be operating in the fleet?

Passed Aquaduct marina this week & noticed Moore hall tied up all sad & alone how come she has stay? More bookings on her??

i wonder why they have striped it of its name etc? am very surprised they are selling willow and most of the other trad boats. i would certainly sell Holly if any. as when we last hired from them they said it was hardly booked at all. The hudson tug 66 ft larch is just beautiful and you are right have a squirrel stove in the saloon & a small epping in the back cabin i wonder why they have striped it of its name etc? am very surprised they are selling willow and most of the other trad boats. i would certainly sell Holly if any. as when we last hired from them they said it was hardly booked at all.

well have you finished the trip or have you got lost in Manchester

am sure any boat hire company would provide you with a months hire and you should get a good price. shop around. i think most of the stoppages end around the 10th march and the season begins so id look at booking from around then. i would try middlewhich narrowboats up north

Am looking into hiring a boat over this winter in or around Cheshire or Staffordshire which has a stove at the back? The reason for this is am looking at buying my own boat next week. And want to see wot winter crusibg us like. I Dout we will cruise far. But it would be nice to have the warmth when we do.

I seem Shapphire in Leeds when it was on its first trip a bloody lovely boat & thanks for link as could never remember we're it was from

Well done Paul Hired off Claymoore a few times over the years. instead of doing this your self why didnt you get a few boat movers to movbe the boats for you. am sure some would have jumped at the chance!
